TWO bus drivers from Clacton have won prizes in a pioneering advanced driving initiative.

Arthur Galea and Sarah Sayer were the winners of First buses’ Smith System challenge.

The training technique, which focuses on space, visibility and time, has seen a 40 per cent reduction in collisions since it was adpoted a year ago.

Every successful contestant who answered correctly was entered into the prize draw for two £50 vouchers.

Managers at First Clacton hope the Smith System will be adopted throughout Essex next year.
