If you passed your driving test on or after 1st January 1997 then you may need the B + E category on your driving licence to tow legally. If you don’t have this category on your licence, you are only licensed to drive a combined (vehicle & trailer) weight of 3500kg maximum gross weight.

Under the new Road Traffic & Health & Safety at work Act 2008 plus the new Corporate Manslaughter April 08, employers have a duty of care to ensure the safety of employees driving for work.

The revised legislation makes it easier to prosecute large and medium sized organisations for manslaughter following a work related death. Put simply, prosecutors will no longer have to identify the single individual, director, or senior manager responsible before they can bring criminal proceedings.

HSE may prosecute either or both the Employer & Employee for any contravention of their duties. DS UK can provide training to all drivers from cars & vans to LGV. We can also provide CPC & Midas.

All drivers will benefit from a comprehensive road risk assessment, which can simply highlight any fault drivers can pick up over many years of driving.

Our trainers will develop the skills drivers already have and improve them to a safer and more advanced level. All DS UK trainers are minimum DSA & ADI fleet registered trainers with many years’ experience. Find out more...
