Safe Urban Driving (SUD)

Safe Urban Driving (SUD) is essential training for all commercial drivers operating HGVs regularly in the urban environment and where there are high volumes of vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and pedestrians.  SUD Training is Driver CPC accredited and fully aligned to meet the requirements of:

• Work Related Road Risk (WRRR)
