Driver CPC Module 5 – Bridge strikes, route planning and dealing with on road occurrences
Bridge strikes can ground a driver for days sometimes weeks if investigations take place. Our bridge strike module takes the drivers through the signs, sometimes subtle that let you know when a low bridge will be coming up. With that and other stressors dealing with on road occurrences can push drivers to the limits. We at Bfast understand from a drivers perspective and have methods of de escalation when heated arguments can occur on the roadside.
