Hi.
I'm putting together a 'Driver's Handbook' for a local authority. Has anyone got any good links, info, existing handbooks etc. they are willing to share with me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Terry

How much money are you charging the authority and getting the info for free from us?
This issue was discussed on a previous thread
I don’t want to seem rude but it does annoy me

That's the spirit?!!! We are helping them as part of an ongoing development of their risk assessment process.
I haven't asked anyone to write it for me (but if you're offering!?). Some website links etc. would do nicely.
Thanks for your help.

Woah, let's not get shirty here.
Were all able to share information, surely?
This sort of thing crops up from time to time. I dont think that sharing a bit of information is likely to allow a person to pass that work off as his/her own.
We all use various information sources in developing safety strategies - some developed in-house but, lets face it, alot does come from multiple sources in the public domain.
Jason - you should be a bit more understanding in your response - we all get put under pressure and have to do research in timescales that are too short.
Terry, this could be useful:

Martin,
Thanks for your input. Looks like it may be of some help, thanks.
JAI has actually also given me some very useful word documents to help me.
We are a caring, sharing lot afterall.
Have a good weekend.

Please NOT brake, some good info but as an organisation they see the panacea to all roasd safety ills as slow down !! Have been involved with this group and found them to very emotive and clouded.
Depending on how far you want to go THE publication for drivers is Roadcraft - The police drivers manual it details driving techniques, braking urban and motorway driving and vehicle checks.
The IAM produce a more reader friendly version called passing your advanced driving test.
Drop me an e-mail I'll be happy to help out.

The sorts of information that LA drivers need are:
1. The licence categories they are able to drive
2. What they may legally tow
3. Towing limits
4. How to read the plated weight of the vehicle
5. Consequences of overloading/insecure loads
6. How to secure a load
7. Limits on projecting loads
8. When, and when not to use hazard warning lights and beacons
9. What the O-Licence means to them
10. how to carry out vehicle prestart checks and defect reporting
11. Driver hours Uk Domestic Rules in the main
12. Any exemptions to the Road Traffic Regulations
13. What constitutes a 'highways maintenance' vehicle
14. Penaties for offences under UkK driving legistaltion
15. Carrying dangerous substances
16. Towing and reversing
17. Transport Depot Safety (see HSE website under workplace transport)
186. Safe transporting of LPG
This list is not extensive and you will find that the Authority is signed up to the FTA, so make use of the password and get the FTA drivers handbook for all LGV and PSV drivers.
Lastly do not assume they know anything, they do not. This from personal experience in training LA drivers.
If you want to contact me please leave a message in this thread and I will email you.
