Marek Szerenos, Young European Truck Driver 2007: What’s your view on the Scania Driver Competitions?

- The competition is a great idea. It improves the drivers’ skills as well as improving road safety.

As a winner, could you give some advice to this year’s contestants?

- My advice to competitors is to remain very calm during the competition. Be calm and keep your cool. That will certainly help to achieve success.

What were the main challenges?

- The greatest challenges are the judges who are observing. You can’t afford to make a mistake. How you place your hands on the steering wheel, attention to the road driving, slowing down, speeding up.
Your driving has to be faultless.

How has the competition affected you as a truck driver?
