UP TO the minute road safety advice and information on driver training - one of the hottest issues in fleet since the Government announced its road safety strategy this week - will be on offer to Fleet Show 2000 visitors at the NEC Birmingham from April 4-6. Paul Beresford, sales and marketing director for Defensive Driver Training, which will be exhibiting at the show, believes driver training will soon become a health and safety requirement.

He said: 'It does cost money but if you target the people who do have more accidents then you end up saving money. We work with companies over a long time and come up with a long-term strategy together which suits their training needs. The strategy makes sure the company is spending money cost-effectively.' Drive & Survive has also booked show space, as have Driving Services and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
