Location Overview – Evesham is a historic market town situated in the Vale of Evesham, Worcestershire. With a population of approximately 27,684 as of the 2021 Census, it lies equidistant between Worcester, Cheltenham, and Stratford-upon-Avon.

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.

Core Driving Skills

* Enhancing anticipation and forward-planning abilities
* Developing greater speed awareness and control
* Learning to better anticipate the actions of other road users
* Practising essential manoeuvres with confidence and precision

Safety & Hazard Management

* Mastering safer driving techniques across motorways, rural roads, and urban environments
* Building skills for driving safely in adverse weather conditions
* Recognising different types of skids and knowing how to respond effectively

Driver Awareness & Behaviour

* Improving driver mindset and attitude behind the wheel
* Understanding the causes of road rage and how to manage emotional responses
* Deepening knowledge of road rules and driving regulations

Efficiency & Environmental Awareness

*  Adopting more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly driving habits

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 course option in our range. It’s perfect for companies training multiple drivers or for those who feel they only need a half day.

  • 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 cost-effective per session than two separate 3.5-hour sessions and works well for those with not much available time. This option is also ideal if your employer has requested the training or if you feel a full day would be more suitable for you. For business clients, we also offer the flexibility to split a full day into AM and PM sessions.

  • Longer Sessions –  For those with specific driving challenges or who haven’t driven in some time, we offer extended courses spread over several weeks. These courses are perfect for individuals needing more comprehensive training to address long-standing issues, often those suffering significant driving anxiety or post-RTC stress. These longer sessions run over 3,4, and 5 x 3,5hr sessions.

Road Safety – Risks and Hazards in Evesham

Several roads in and around Evesham have been identified as particularly hazardous due to high accident rates, poor signage, and challenging road layouts. Below are some of the most dangerous roads in the area:

1. A46 Evesham Bypass (Hinton Cross to Sedgeberrow)
This stretch of the A46 has been labelled one of the most dangerous in the UK, with numerous serious and fatal crashes reported over recent years. In response, National Highways has reduced the speed limit from 60mph to 40mph to improve safety.

2. A46 at Badsey Roundabout
The road markings approaching the Badsey roundabout have been criticised for causing confusion and accidents. Arrows painted on the A46 southbound direct traffic in both lanes to continue straight over the roundabout, but once drivers reach the other side, there is only a single lane for two lanes to merge into, leading to potential conflicts and accidents.

3. Honeybourne Road (Near Bidford)
Honeybourne Road has been the site of several serious accidents. Local residents have called for a reduction in the speed limit from 60mph to 40mph and improvements in signage to enhance safety at this location.

4. Badsey Road
Badsey Road has witnessed multiple incidents. Despite being considered a relatively safe area at large, the road’s layout and traffic conditions contribute to an increased risk of incidents.

5. A46 Between Twyford and Badsey
This section of the A46 has been the site of several collisions, prompting local authorities to investigate safety measures. The road’s design and traffic flow contribute to its designation as a dangerous route.

If you are planning to drive in or around Evesham, it’s advisable to exercise extra caution on these roads. Staying alert and updated on local traffic conditions can help ensure a safer journey, too.
