Psychological profiling of business drivers should be a key consideration for fleet managers, according to fleet training company Fleetsafe Driving Solutions.

The Warrington-based business says that the system allows trainers and companies to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses that may need to be addressed.

Eddie Davies, director at Fleetsafe, said: “The system evaluates the driver’s personality in terms of how it could impact on their ability as a driver.

“For example, one of the main focuses is on the driver’s level of concentration and patience, both essential qualities of a good driver.”

However, Mr Davies, whose company offers a web-based system, stressed that psychological profiling is only part of the solution to improving driving standards.
