* Creating increased powers of anticipation and planning

These points offer a general overview; some may be more relevant to certain drivers, while others might not. This emphasises the customised nature of our training.
Discover Our Course Options and Durations:
Our UK-wide courses are available for both van and car drivers. Here’s an overview of the different duration options:
* One Half-Day 3.5hrs – The shortest and most cost-effective option in our range. It’s perfect for companies training multiple drivers, but may be too brief for some individuals.
* Two Half Days – 2 x 3.5hrs – This option is ideal for those who can’t commit to a full day of driving and prefer splitting the training into two sessions for better retention. Drivers often receive “homework” between sessions to practice what was covered, helping reinforce learning. It’s a popular choice for older drivers.
* Full day (7hr) – A full-day course is more economical than two separate 3.5-hour sessions and works well for those with limited time. This option is great if your company has requested the training, or if you feel a full day would be more suitable. For business clients, we also offer the flexibility to split a full day into AM and PM sessions.
* Longer Sessions (3, 4, or 5 x 3.5hrs) – For those with specific driving challenges or who haven’t driven in some time, we offer extended courses spread over several weeks. These are perfect for individuals needing more comprehensive training to address long-standing issues.

Road Safety – Risks and Hazards in Bexhill
The most dangerous roads in Bexhill-on-Sea tend to be those that involve higher traffic volumes, tighter bends, or are prone to accidents. Based on road safety data and local reports, the following roads are considered to have higher risks:
- A259 – This is a major coastal road, and although it is a busy route connecting Bexhill to Hastings and Eastbourne, it can be hazardous due to high traffic volumes, frequent junctions, and the presence of pedestrians.
- A269 – This road, particularly around its junctions, has seen accidents, often due to higher speeds and sharp bends. It’s a key link to Battle and surrounding areas, where rural road conditions can contribute to incidents.
- B2204 (Ninfield Road) – This road, especially around the bends near the outskirts of Bexhill, has seen collisions due to limited visibility, sharp corners, and rural conditions, often combined with higher speeds.
- De La Warr Road – Although central to Bexhill, this road sees many pedestrians crossing, especially during events and busy periods, which can increase the likelihood of accidents, particularly at busy times.
- Collington Avenue – This road is prone to accidents due to tight residential areas and varying traffic speeds. It can also be a hotspot for accidents during rush hours and when drivers are not fully prepared for pedestrians or cyclists.
Drivers should exercise caution, particularly on rural or less well-lit roads, and be aware of pedestrians and cyclists, especially on busier main roads.
