Safe Driving Programme FAQs
Below are the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.
Who needs to complete the Safe Driving Programme and obtain a permit to drive?
If you drive for work purposes for anything other than the usual commute between your home and office journey, including driving to other branches or courses and meetings, these are classed as business journeys. This means you need to complete the programme and obtain a permit.
If you only drive between your home and a single place of work, this is classed as commuting. You don't need a permit and can opt out of the programme. To opt out, you should launch the programme and click ‘register to programme’. You should accept the policy wording then click to declare to you do not drive for business and would like to opt out. Once you have clicked ‘finish’ you will have opted out and be recorded as a non-business driver.
Please note: If you have previously registered as a business driver, please contact us by phone or email as we will need to re-set your profile to allow you to re-register and opt out.
