A new virtual in-vehicle driver training course has been launched by Business Driver.

The firm, a subsidiary of TTC Group, says the course uses live dash camera footage from the trainee’s vehicle, while the trainer gives feedback via a two-way audio feed, also allowing the trainee to ask questions.

As well as real-time coaching, pre- and post-drive analysis is also included.

The virtual format allows Business Driver to continue offering training while complying with social distancing.

It says the initial success of the format means it will be developed further in future.

Business Driver CEO and founder Seb Goldin said: “Our new virtual in-vehicle training has been a real success story, allowing individuals and businesses to continue to focus on road safety and ensure they stay on top of their CSR policies during such challenging times.

“Our state-of-the-art technologies provide us with such interactive capabilities that it truly is like having one of our specialist coaches in the front seat. 

“This approach is most certainly now here for the future and will provide yet another key aspect of our training portfolio moving ahead.”
