ROAD SAFETY
LEGISLATION
Due to its vast experience as implementer of national mandatory road safety training programmes, Test & Training International consults for various governmental and non-governmental organisations, with regards to the legal aspects of mandatory training programmes especially of novice and professional driver training programmes. This legal consulting also includes demerit point system approaches and the implementation of scientific research into the development of legal defaults.
PROOF
OF SUCCESS
Since 2003, Austria has implemented a mandatory 2nd phase driver education system developed by Test & Training in collaboration with the government, the Austrian Road Safety Board, the Association of Austrian Driving schools and the automobile clubs.
The results speak for themselves: following the introduction of the scheme, the number of seriously injured novice drivers dropped by 28% between 2004 and 2008. Why can't that happen in other countries too?
HOLISTIC
APPROACH
Test & Training International is a strong partner for viable, locally tailored and legally grounded road safety measures.
FULLFILLING
EU REQUIREMENTS
In Austria, Test & Training was the leading implementor of the mandatory EU-wide periodic training of professional drivers. Since 2008/09 professional drivers in the EU are required to complete 35 hours of further training within a period of five years. We have twenty years experience of working with drivers of commercial vehicles. Thus, we are well placed to help realise this guideline according to all requirements with our tried and tested, state-of-the-art programmes for road safety training, eco training and load security.
We design from the view
of the operator.

FLEETS

SPECIFIC
TRAINING PROGRAMS
A truck fleet’s success depends heavily on the skills of its drivers. Yet as the mileage clocks up, professional drivers also become prone to errors due to habit and routine. To nip these bad habits in the bud, Test & Training organises special training programmes and tracks for the “big guys” for over twenty years.
LESS
ACCIDENTS
With the roll-over tanker the truck can be tested to the limit. It can “sound out” the braking distance of a fully loaded 24-tonner, and practise recognising, avoiding and handling difficult road situations. The client also benefits by drivers with heightened awareness, increased motivation and also from fewer accidents, lower insurance premiums and reduced fuel bills.
SAFE
COSTS
More and more companies and organisations are making use of our professional programmes. After our training course, drivers of tanker trucks, HGVs and buses are all safer, better and more cost-effective on the road. According to the client’s objective, our expert trucker team draw up special programmes for the drivers to get reflexes and know-how up to speed.
TRAINING
RESULTS
It has been shown that the programmes TTI runs for European companies have drastically reduced accident numbers and associated costs. For instance, a training programme for a big supermarket chain led to a reduction in accident costs of more than 40%.
In addition, TTI offers jointly organised European-wide driver training to fulfill internal health and security rules for companies like BP, Aral, Shell and OMV. Today road safety training based on our model is now compulsory in the oil industry. In this way it was possible to decrease roll-over accidents by 80%.

TO SUCCEED
Over the past 25 years Test & Training International has developed training programmes for all kind of driver education, road safety and motorsport training purposes, in addition to mandatory training programmes for novice and professional drivers to reduce injuries and fatalities and to reduce operation and accident costs.
Many programmes were tailored to local and current situations and needs. But Test & Training International constantly strives to assess and improve its training programme results.
