What the Driver Pre-Use Check Training Involves

Vehicle safety begins long before the engine starts. The Daily Pre-Use Check is a key element of legal compliance and operational efficiency. According to the Office of the Traffic Commissioner (OTC), approximately 85 % of roadside prohibitions for vehicles could be avoided if drivers carried out proper walk-around checks.

Our Driver Pre-Use Check Training ensures your drivers know not just that they must inspect, but how — what to check, how to record defects, and why it matters for your Operator Licence and fleet performance.

We focus on practical skills, real-world scenarios and clear compliance outcomes.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for:
  • Professional drivers (HGV, PSV or light commercial) who perform daily vehicle checks.
  • Fleet managers and supervisors who oversee driver inspections and defect-reporting.
  • Operators who want to safeguard their fleet, reduce downtime and demonstrate compliance.
If you operate fixed daily vehicle schedules, run multiple shifts or manage mixed fleets, this course supplies the training your drivers need to perform consistent, credible pre-use checks.

What You’ll Cover & How It’s Delivered

Key Topics Include:

  • Walk-around inspection procedures: lights, tyres, brakes, under-carriage, exterior defects.
  • Defect recognition and reporting: what counts as a defect, how to document it, how to escalate.
  • Record-keeping, paperwork and digital solutions: how correct documentation supports compliance.
  • Understanding the bigger picture: how pre-use checks link to Operator Licence requirements and fleet risk.

Delivery Options:

We deliver training in formats to suit your business:
  • Classroom sessions at regional training centres or on your site.
  • On-site practical training where drivers perform real walk-around checks under supervision.
  • Blended or online modules, for operators with multiple sites or distance-learning needs.
Led by experienced tutors with HGV & PSV operations backgrounds, each session uses case studies and interactive learning to help drivers apply what they learn directly in their role.
