2025 has been an exciting year for SambaSafety. We expanded our online fleet training offerings with new, region-specific courses designed to enhance driver safety and compliance across the globe. Below, we provide a quick overview of the training content introduced this past year, with courses tailored for the UK, as well as new French-Canadian and Spanish content, as well as .
Our UK 'Pro-Defence' Catalog introduces a comprehensive suite of defensive driving training designed specifically for all UK vehicle types, including heavy goods vehicles (HGV1 and HGV2), light duty vehicles (LDV) and cars. Defensive driving training equips drivers with the skills needed to anticipate and mitigate potential road hazards, reducing the risk of crashes and other costly incidents. These new courses have been meticulously crafted to address the unique challenges of UK roads, with UK-specific narration, visuals of vehicles, roadways and signage, as well as considerations for localized government regulations.
The fundamental defensive driving topics covered include:
In addition, we launched a series of UK Micro-Learning Modules for all vehicle types (HGV1, HGV2, LDV, car) that can be used as post-incident reminders or ongoing skill reinforcement. These short, targeted lessons provide drivers with quick refreshers on specific topics such as mobile phone use, stop signs and traffic control devices, smoking, rear-end collisions, following distance, slippery roads, animal collisions and much more.
Our French-Canadian Pro-Defense Catalog caters to medium-duty vehicle operators, with plans to expand to additional vehicle types in the near future. These courses are fully localized, with complete French-Canadian language and on-screen text. These courses cover the fundamentals of defensive driving, including essential planning, controlled speed, navigating hazards, evaluating space, fatigue management, effective communication, distractions and an approach to safe driving.
To better serve Spanish-speaking drivers, we also introduced the Spanish Pro-Defense Catalog. This collection of defensive driving courses is tailored for all vehicle types, including heavy-duty, medium-duty, light-duty and sedans. Every course is fully translated with Spanish narration and on-screen text. Topics also cover all seven fundamentals of defensive driving listed above.
