“We trained driver Instructors on how to interpret the Bus Driver Risk Index™ results and how to coach driver students more effectively. We sent the students’ risky behavioural profiles to school with them. There is a strong likelihood that the DriverMetrics® programme and process has made a significant difference in our new hire training."
