·??????? What do you regard as the most important aspect of being a safe driver?

Maintaining concentration when driving is essential for safe driving. Distractions, such as talking on the phone or eating, make a driver less able to identify possible difficulties and react appropriately.

·??????? What do you like most about your job?

Every day is a new experience. We travel huge distances and occasionally change vehicles. Unlike most careers, being a long-distance truck driver allows you to choose your own schedule for the most part. While your destination and driving hours are fixed, how you spend those hours is entirely up to you.

·??????? What do you think can be done to make our roads safer?

Don't use drugs or alcohol while driving because they can impair your judgment and cause accidents. Government must ensure that existing road laws are enforced by all road users.

·??????? EnviroServ has recently introduced several new safety systems and technologies, how do these help to make your job easier?

?The Tomtom is incredibly useful because it includes GPS, which makes our lives easier because we don't have to use telephones to find the best route to our customers. We also utilise Tomtom to contact the office when we encounter problems on the road.
