RoSPA’s new version Driver Profiler 20:20 is designed to assess whether someone is a low, medium or high-risk driver by measuring psychometric, demographic and behavioural factors that influence driver safety.

The updated package features a much shorter question set - 45 questions in all, which only take 10 minutes to complete. The questions also take into account new technologies such as sat navs and hands-free mobile phones.

More tailored feedback is given for every question answered as well as an overall risk rating; and on completion the driver receives the report instantly. An inbuilt consistency checker ensures that accurate reports are produced. Many of the improvements are based on feedback from existing customers.

Kevin Clinton, RoSPA’s head of road safety, said: “Driver Profiler 20:20 has been developed through an 18-month research programme involving nearly 2,500 drivers. The result is a contemporary driver assessment tool specifically designed for at-work driving which will help employers make the most of limited driver training budgets”.
