We provide advanced driving courses all over Yorkshire, including East Yorkshire. Our courses are designed for both business clients and private individuals. For business clients, we can offer a range of courses, from a training session for an individual who may need a one-off training session or a comprehensive course for all of your company car or van drivers.
For private individuals, we can offer courses that include refresher courses, confidence courses and general advanced driver training. In East Yorkshire, we have already helped clients in Bridlington, Hull, Market Weighton and Stamford Bridge. We cover all of East Yorkshire – and the UK.
Remember – All our on-road driving courses are tailored to your exact requirements. For both business and private clients.
With our advanced driving courses, we try and cover as many roads as possible. The only motorway in East Yorkshire is the M62, located in the southwest of the county. For motorway training, which forms a key part of a course, we tend to head out towards Leeds on the M62, or Scunthorpe on the M180. For rural roads, the county has a good selection of A and B roads, where we can introduce and practice various advanced driving techniques, all delivered in an interesting and easy-to-learn way.
Town and urban driving is also covered during our courses, where we move into built-up areas such as Hull or similar to help drivers manage their speed in restricted areas (20 and 30mph), safely deal with pedestrians and vulnerable road users, such as cyclists, and generally become more observant and aware of what is going on around them. The skills you need for driving on a rural road, are different to those you need in an urban environment. However, observation and planning are critical on all roads. Our training is based on getting the most from a driver, based on their own unique skills, needs and abilities.

Road Safety Risks and Information – East Yorkshire
The main motorway into East Yorkshire is the M62 from Leeds, which merges with the M63 into Hull. This is a particularly heavy traffic route and has seen numerous accidents, especially at junction 37 at Howden Dyke, where there is a challenging link road to Boothferry Road. The accident rate is exceptionally high for such a small stretch of road. Junction 35, where the M62 links to the M18 to Doncaster, is another high-risk area. Other fast roads, such as the A1079 from York, through Market Weighton and into Beverley, and the A614, which links Hebden Dyke to Bridlington, have plenty of accident hotspots along all routes. The stretch of road on the A614 between Market Weighton and Driffield is a very challenging area and has seen, sadly, too many fatalities, so being aware of especially dangerous routes is beneficial for any unfamiliar journey. Another perilous route is the A166 between Stamford Bridge and Fridaythorpe. Accidents on fast A roads are often severe as these routes are quite rural with minimal street lighting and, by their very nature, are challenging to drive, so a good understanding of the roads you travel can help you plan your journey with road risks considered, which is vital if you are using such routes regularly.
Hull is the largest city in East Yorkshire and is a thriving port town full of attractions bringing visitors along the river Humber. The A63 follows the river, and unfortunately, many serious accidents have been seen from the Humber Bridge right into the inner-city ring road. The traffic light multi-lane junction on the edge of Ferrisway is also notorious for collisions. The A15 across the Humber Bridge route into Barton on Humber is statistically a very high-risk area. The A165 travelling into Bridlington shows many crash sites in and around the town centres. There are also many accident sites along the coastal road of South Marine Drive; all along this road are parking spaces for the seafront, which could be a significant factor, especially on very sunny days.
All minor roads between York and the coast are very well travelled with farming communities, locals, and tourists, but some of the most serious accidents have been seen in very beautiful settings, such as the B1246 from Pocklington and the B1238 Hull Road to Aldborough.
We offer a free-of-charge service to anyone who is interested in crash statistics when planning a route. These are only a very brief outline of collision sites in the county of East Yorkshire. Please get in touch if you would like to find out more.
