Light Vehicle Driver Evaluation
WHY DO A DRIVER EVALUATION?
Most incidents don’t start with bad intention, they start with habits. Small, unchallenged patterns that quietly add up in fuel costs, wear and tear, and insurance claims. An evaluation puts a trained eye on those habits before they cost you.
- A vehicle used for work is a workplace under the Health & Safety at Work Act. Employers have a duty of care to anyone driving a Class 1 vehicle on their behalf.
- Smoother driving cuts fuel consumption and reduces wear on tyres, brakes, and other consumables across your fleet.
- Fewer incidents means a cleaner claims history and a better insurance risk profile at your next renewal.
- Coaching builds confidence in difficult conditions, road rage situations, and high-pressure driving environments
WHAT YOU GET
Our evaluators coach as they assess. Drivers leave with a clear understanding of what they’re doing, why it matters, and what to change.
Identifies real risk
A colour-coded report flags the habits that expose your business to loss, before an incident puts them on record.
Cuts running costs
Better technique reduces fuel spend and extends the life of brakes, tyres, and other consumables in your light vehicle fleet.
Builds driver confidence
Drivers who understand what good looks like handle difficult situations with more composure and consistency.
Clear written report
Every evaluation ends with a detailed report that your organisation can act on, suitable for H&S, HR, and insurance documentation.

What to expect
Evaluations are conducted on a route that reflects the environment your driver normally operates in. The evaluator coaches throughout the session where needed, and every driver receives a full debrief at the end.
Before you arrive: Drivers must hold a current Class 1 licence — bring it on the day. Make sure the vehicle provided is legally compliant.
After the evaluation, a full written report is provided to your organisation. It identifies risk factors, notes areas for improvement, and supports your Health & Safety documentation.
