Duration Overview – What’s Best For You?

Our UK-wide courses are available for both van and car drivers. Below is an overview of the different duration options:

3.5hrs – This is the shortest course option in our range. It can be ideal for companies training two or more drivers. So a full day is split into 2 x 3.5hr. It’s also useful for those who feel they only need a half-day session to address their needs.

2 x 3.5hrs – This option is beneficial for those who can’t commit to a full day and prefer to extend the training over two sessions for a better learning experience. Often, drivers are given tasks to do between sessions to practice what was covered, which helps the overall learning experience. This course is popular with private clients.

7hrs (Full Day) – A full-day course is more cost-effective than two separate 3.5-hour sessions and is ideal for those with little time. This is a great option if your company has requested the training or if you simply feel a full day works better for you. We also offer the option to split a full day into AM and PM sessions for business clients.

Longer Courses (– For individuals with specific driving challenges or those who haven’t driven in a while, we offer longer courses that can be spread over several weeks. These options are ideal for those needing more in-depth training to address deep-rooted issues, especially those who suffer some form of trauma after a road collision. These courses are in 3,4, and 5 x 3.5hr sessions.

Road Safety – Risks and Hazards in Farnham

Here are some of the most hazardous roads in and around Farnham, based on local reports and recent accident data:

1. A31 Farnham Road (Weydon Lane Junction)
This stretch has been identified as an accident hotspot, with multiple serious collisions and near-misses in recent years. In response, Surrey County Council reduced the speed limit to 50mph in July 2023 to improve safety.

2. A325 Wrecclesham Road
Residents have raised concerns about speeding and traffic volume on this road, particularly near Wrecclesham village. A recent incident involving a red Hyundai highlighted the need for increased safety measures in the area.

3. Upper Hale Road
This road has been affected by numerous large potholes, leading to tyre blow-outs and posing significant hazards to motorists. Despite repeated reports, permanent repairs have been delayed, increasing the risk to drivers.

4. South Street & Union Road (Farnham Town Centre)
The junctions of South Street and Union Road have deteriorated significantly, with damaged surfaces posing safety concerns for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Temporary repairs have been made, but full resurfacing is not expected until the next winter season.

5. A31 Farnham Bypass
Although not within the town centre, the A31 bypass is considered dangerous due to high-speed traffic and a history of serious accidents. Authorities have introduced measures to improve safety, but drivers are advised to remain cautious.

Safety Tips:

• Reduce speed and follow all posted limits, particularly in known problem areas.
• Stay alert and aware of changing road conditions.
• Report any hazards or road damage to local authorities to help prevent future accidents.
