The verb 'to drive' in origin means "to force to move, to impel by physical force". It is first recorded of electric railway drivers in 1889 and of a motor-car driver in 1896. Early alternatives were motorneer, motor-man, motor-driver or motorist. Driving in traffic is more than just knowing how to operate the mechanisms which control the vehicle; it requires knowing how to apply the rules of the road (which ensures safe and efficient sharing with other users). An effective driver also has an intuitive understanding of the basics of vehicle handling and can drive responsibly.

Your destination is reward for safe driving. Being a safe and responsible driver takes a combination of knowledge, skill and attitude.Defensive driving is based on three ideas: visibility, space and communication. Adopting defensive driving techniques can keep you and others safe on the road. Defensive driving simply means to drive without having a preventable accident. Stay alert, leave enough space between your vehicle and others, and adjust appropriately to any dangerous situations.

Any drivers you hire must be able to work efficiently and happily on their own.Whilst it may seem like an obvious point to make, drivers must have excellent driving skills to ensure not only their own safety, but the safety of others on the road.

UK is not the only country where driving on the left-hand side of the road is the rule! Though the majority of the world’s population drives on the right, people drive on the left in more than 70 mostly English-speaking countries.With no set speed limits on several motorway stretches, Germany stands out. Otherwise, speed limits can be quite variable depending on the country and sometimes even differ from one state or province to another (in particular the United States or Canada). For example, you can drive at 140 km/h on Bulgarian motorways whereas you cannot exceed 112 km/hour on British motorways. And in Malta, you can never drive at more than 80 km/hour, regardless of the type of road you are on...In some countries, you might find some road regulations rather surprising. For instance:

In Sweden and Switzerland, daytime running light must remain turned on both day and night. In Saudi Arabia, women are simply not allowed to take the wheel. In Russia, it is illegal to drive a dirty car.
