Bespoke Driving Course Content:
Although the courses we offer are very different, there are still some generic points we include; the key difference is how we deliver them to the client. For example, boosting confidence for a young driver will look very different to boosting confidence for a driver with 50 years of experience.
Below are some of the common things we look at and develop during our driver training sessions.
* Looking at a driver’s specific day-to-day driving and driving history to make a bespoke training plan
* Looking ahead and developing powers of observation
* Increasing focus on speed and excessive speed
* Modifying attitude towards a safer, more proactive way to drive
* Learning the System of Car Control
* How to avoid road rage situations
* Manoeuvres, reversing, and operating in confined spaces
* Driving safety on the motorway and dual carriageways
* Becoming a safer urban driver – identifying and dealing with pedestrians and cyclists
* Learn how to drive in a more environmentally friendly way
* How to boost driving confidence
* Identifying high-risk driving, such as at night, driving tired or when stressed
The personalised nature of our training means we can vary the time we spend on specific points. It all depends on the driver and what’s best for them.
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 Bromley
While Bromley itself is generally a safe area, certain nearby roads have been identified as high-risk due to accident statistics and safety concerns:
- A21 Road (London Road): This major route connects London to Hastings and passes through Bromley. Sections of the A21, particularly between Sevenoaks and Pembury, have been noted for high accident rates. A 2002 report ranked a 14-mile stretch south of Flimwell as the most dangerous road in the southeast outside London. Although improvements have been made, parts of the A21 still experience congestion and accidents, especially during peak times.
- A20 Road (Sidcup Road): Running east-west, the A20 connects London to Dover. Through Bromley, it’s referred to as Sidcup Road and provides access to surrounding areas. This road has sections that are prone to congestion and accidents, particularly during rush hours.
- A232 Road (Croydon Road): Linking Bromley to Croydon, the A232 serves as a key route for local and regional traffic. Certain stretches of this road have been highlighted for safety concerns due to traffic volume and road conditions.
It’s important to note that while these roads have higher accident rates, ongoing efforts are being made to improve safety through infrastructure enhancements and increased enforcement.
