What is Coaching the Van Driver 4?
Coaching the Van Driver 4 is a classroom defensive driving course built specifically for van drivers transporting passengers and cargo. It uses a proven discussion and participation-based coaching methodology — not passive video — to build the habits and situational awareness that prevent incidents on the road.
The course covers all key defensive driving concepts including pre-trip inspection, SCC (Scanning, Cushion of Safety, Communicating), backing, driving in adverse weather, transporting passengers, and transporting cargo. Video presentations feature driver point-of-view footage and real traffic situations that put operators in the scenarios they’ll actually face on the job.
Each operator receives a Response Book used for written exercises, traffic situation analysis, and group discussion — completing the course earns a course completion certificate.
