Working for professional drivers
It is the goal of the UICR (International Union of Professional Drivers) to coordinate and represent the interests of professional drivers. With these goals in mind, the UICR is involved in improving traffic safety as well as work-related education. Members are required to provide support to members of other associations involved in traffic accidents or traffic violations. The UICR organises every two year a world championship in safety driving, including ecological driving and ADR-handling.
