Berkshire-based driver education specialist DriveTech (UK) plc has become a signatory to the European Road Safety Charter.

“We are proud to demonstrate our commitment to driving down road casualty rates in such an overt way,” says DriveTech Chairman Chris Howell. “We have made various undertakings as part of our participation in this very worthwhile campaign and we want to play our part in ensuring that the European Road Safety Charter objectives are met.”

The European Road Safety Charter brings together a wide group of stake-holders who share a common purpose – to lead by example in promoting and actively pursuing policies and procedures that reduce road risk in all its forms, for the benefit of society in general.

DriveTech provides a very wide range of courses and other interventions to enable drivers to make better informed decisions about their on-road behaviour and thus reduce collisions. The company is involved with learner drivers, offenders who wish to benefit from education as opposed to a fine and points on their licence and those who drive for a wide variety of work purposes.
