Driving Safety: The Basics
Click on the boxes on the right-hand side
of this page for more information.
We do so much driving that it's easy to forget how dangerous it can be. Every year road accidents claim more than two million lives worldwide, and cause tens of millions serious injuries.
Fortunately, most accidents can be prevented when drivers think ahead and are proactive, doing things to avoid dangerous situations on the road. And the good news is, people can start being safe drivers even before the key goes in the ignition.
With the right skills, a well-maintained vehicle and the right attitude towards driving, employees can make the roads a safer place for everyone.
Topics covered in this course include:
- Preparing to drive safely
- The fundamentals of safe driving
- Driving safely when sharing the road with different types of vehicles
- Staying safe when driving at night and in inclement weather
- Road rage and distracted driving
- What to do if there's an emergency
- …and more.
Like all MARCOM courses, this updated course on "Driving Safety: The Basics" uses a powerful combination of full-motion, high-definition video filmed in real world locations, along with audio, text and colorful graphics to provide the most cost-effective training available today.

- "Preparing to Drive Safely"
- "Driving Fundamentals"
- "Driving With Other Vehicles"
- "Driving at Night and in Bad Weather"
- "Distracted Driving and Road Rage"
- "Handling an Emergency"
The English version of this course is currently available online in Full-Length Interactive, "Adaptive Learning" and Micro-Learning formats as well as Video-on-Demand (VOD) for streaming over the internet, and a DVD that can be played locally at your facility.

Adaptive Learning
“Adaptive Learning” takes advantage of an employee’s existing knowledge to create training courses that are customized for that employee, and don’t “reteach” them things that they already know. In other words, the Adaptive Learning process determines what an employee already knows about a topic, then structures courses that contain only the information that the employee needs to complete their knowledge of the topic.
These individually customized courses eliminate the largest employee complaint about safety training (“I already know most of this stuff, so why do I have to go through this training again?!”), while potentially recapturing thousands of hours of lost productivity.
MARCOM’s Adaptive Learning courses test employees before they take the course. Then based on the questions that they answer correctly, the course itself determines if the employee knows enough about the information in each chapter in the course to “test out” of that chapter… and if they do, automatically reconfigures the course to skip those chapters.
Reconfiguring the courses in this way typically saves about 50% of an employee’s time in taking a course. Over a year’s time this can recapture a significant amount of lost productivity time for a company of any size, and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings.
