Location Overview – We have extensive experience providing driver training in and around Coventry for both fleet and private clients. Coventry, a historic city in the Midlands, lies to the east of Birmingham. Once part of Warwickshire, it is now one of the 10 largest cities in the UK. Situated 17 miles east-southeast of Birmingham, 22 miles southwest of Leicester, and 9 miles north of Warwick, Coventry enjoys a central location in England, just 12 miles southwest of Leicestershire.

Due to Coventry’s central location, we can offer a wide range of on-road driving courses. All our on-road session courses are bespoke to your needs and requirements, whether you need a full day or half day or multiples of either.

Driving Courses We Offer:

* General advanced
* Confidence training
* Performance car training
* Van driver training
* Pre-court assessments

Here are the things we aim to cover during a driver training session:

* Observing the road ahead better
* Having an improved appreciation for speed and the consequences of too much speed
* Developing a better positive mindset for future improvement of your driving skills.
* Understanding how to become a safer driver on all roads
* Advising on specific vehicle controls – including new technology and how it is designed to make a safer vehicle and driver
* Understanding the rules and new regulations of all roads
* Dealing with road rage – how to manage your own and the emotions of other drivers

* How to identify, deal and avoid skids
* Eco-safe driving to save fuel and less wear and tear on brakes and tyres

A PDF report of the course will be sent within 3-5 days after the course.  We rank each driver from poor to excellent in over 20 areas of their driving at the start and after training, with specific things assessed such as confidence, forward observations, attitude, speed awareness and much more.

This report is instrumental as it is fully tailored to the driver and gives valuable tips for safer driving.

Coventry is surrounded by picturesque historical villages and benefits from an excellent transport network, connecting it to the nearby counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire. The city is made up of several smaller areas, including Wyken, Tile Hill, Binley, and Keresley Heath, all of which are easily accessible from every part of Coventry.

We have delivered numerous driver training courses for both individual clients and businesses in the Coventry area, taking advantage of the city’s well-developed A road network, which includes dual carriageways that run throughout. Notable routes include the A44, connecting from the A46 near Stratford, and the A45, which runs to the west and southeast of the city, linking Coventry to Ryton on Dunsmore and extending towards Birmingham. The M6 and M69 motorways also serve Coventry, providing excellent routes for motorway confidence training.

Our courses are door-to-door and always tailored to the individual driver.

Our courses and pricing are based on duration:

Half-day 3.5hour session
Full day 7-hour session (which can be split for two drivers on the same day)
2 half-day sessions
3 half-day sessions

Longer Duration Courses:

Our fully tailored 3,4, and 5 half-day sessions are more suited for those who may have very specific issues, such as driving anxiety, problems with specific roads, or who have not driven for a very long time or after an RTA. These longer courses are booked mainly by private individuals, although they are also open to our business clients.  The longer-duration courses are great to build up your skills and confidence over a short time. The time between each session will also be valuable as it allows you to reflect, absorb and practise what has been covered.

How to book or enquire

We have a few options and packages to suit all requirements. Please call or email us for more information. Our team will be happy to help. If you’re looking at a quote for many drivers or just one, we will be happy to provide this, along with how we can best arrange the training based on your organisation’s specific requirements.

Road Safety Risks and Information – Coventry

The city of Coventry is situated to the east of Birmingham in the West Midlands. The M6 serves it to the north and has several fast A road routes that cross the city, all with high volumes of collision sites to be aware of.

The M6 is one of the busiest motorways in the UK, and Junction 3 connects the A444 and B4113 at the Exhall interchange. This junction has been the site of numerous collisions, particularly around the roundabout, suggesting that poor lane discipline and exiting could be contributing factors. Large urban roundabouts can be particularly hazardous, and it’s essential for drivers to not only be aware of their own routes but also stay alert to other drivers who may be struggling with theirs. Similarly, Junction 2, the Ansty interchange, which links the B4065 Hinckley Road and the A46(M69) Coventry Eastern Bypass, experiences comparable accident rates. Fast motorways and A-road routes in Coventry, like many other areas, are prone to accidents, with several high-risk spots along these roads.

The A4053 forms a ring road around Coventry city centre, connecting key routes like the A4114 Holyhead Road, A429 Warwick Road, and A4600 Sky Blue Way. At many intersections along these routes, especially during rush hours, collision sites are common. The inner-city routes are often bustling, with a lack of patience and poor signaling being frequent causes of accidents. Anticipating the actions of other drivers is a valuable skill that can significantly improve road safety.

While the retail heart of Coventry is largely pedestrianised, the narrower streets leading into the city centre, such as the High Street (linking from the B5444 Gosford Street), have a high number of recorded accidents. Greyfriars Lane and Corporation Street have similarly experienced frequent collisions in recent years.

The A428 Binley Road, one of the main routes into the town centre from the east, also has a poor accident record. This road, shared with public transport routes and passing through residential areas, is particularly hazardous. Drivers should be extra vigilant when using this route, as many private driveways open directly onto the main road, and bus stops along the route increase the risk of pedestrians crossing unexpectedly.

If you regularly travel on specific roads in Coventry or the surrounding area and want to know which parts are more prone to collisions, feel free to get in touch with us. We can provide insights to help you navigate these high-risk areas more safely.
