Location Overview: Merseyside covers a wide area where we can provide our advanced driving courses. We have full UK coverage and come to you for the training. We cover all areas of Merseyside and have recently helped provide driver training in Southport, Liverpool, St Helens, Birkenhead and West Kirby. Merseyside has a great network of roads where we can provide our driver training.

Close access to various motorways, such as the M62, M57 and M53, is ideal for those looking for training on motorways, whether that be a specialist motorway driving course or a standard advanced driving course with elements of motorway driving.

Merseyside itself is ideal for motorway and urban driver training. However, for rural road training, we often head north towards the Preston area or down towards Northwich; both areas have a great network of challenging rural roads, which can really help a driver develop car control, and other key elements of advanced driving, which can be taught to drivers of all levels and experience.

Our Range of Courses:

Our UK-wide courses are designed for both business and private clients. We can bespoke a course for a driver of any age or experience level, depending on exact needs and requirements. Some drivers will benefit from a more generalised course, while others need a much more specialised approach. Here is a list of some of the courses we can offer:

* Confidence training
* General advanced and defensive training
* Post road traffic collision (RTC) training
* Van driver training
* Motorhome confidence and familiarisation
* Courses for younger drivers
* High-performance driving courses
* Pre-court advanced training
* Mature driver training

Some courses will have elements of a number of the above, while others will be very specific. When you book a course with us, you can be confident that we can build a session around your own needs.

Remember – All our courses are bespoke to your exact needs and requirements for both business and private customers.

During our advanced driver training, we cover many elements, including:

* Looking at a driver’s own specific day-to-day driving and driving history to make a bespoke training plan
* Speed awareness and planning
* Creating a safe mindset for safer motoring
* Changing your driving style on different of road types
* Motoring law and regulations
* Coping with stress when driving a car or van
* Manoeuvres
* Driving in poor weather (such as rain, snow, ice)
* Learn how to manage pedestrians and cyclists in the city – not getting too close!
* Under, oversteer and the four-wheel drift – learning to identify them and removing the cause
* Learn how to visit the petrol station less! Driving in an economical way
* Get a better insight into what the driver in front is about to do!

Our course options are based on duration and are designed to provide the best fit for a driver, whether that’s for a newly qualified driver or someone with 40+ years of experience:

* 3.5hr – Designed for drivers who need a short session. This is popular too for companies who are training 10+ drivers where we can train one driver AM and one PM

* 3.5hr x 2 – For those that feel a full day is too much in one go, and a 3.5hr alone is not enough. Suited to drivers who feel a rest in between sessions will work for them

* 7hr full day – This full-day course is ideal for those (both private and business customers) who want a driver or drivers to have a full-day intensive session

* We also offer 3.5 hours over 3,4, or 5 days, which don’t need to be taken back to back. Ideal for those who want to significantly increase the standard of their driving with one-to-one training over a number of hours.

Road Safety Risks and Information – Merseyside

Merseyside, spanning from the bustling Liverpool city centre to the coastal areas of Southport and Ellesmere Port, is a busy region with an extensive road network. Its key routes, such as the M53, M62, and M58, are vital for traffic heading to and from the port areas, and they are often filled with both local and foreign drivers, some of whom may not be familiar with UK driving conditions. This increases the likelihood of accidents, especially in the areas around the port and the motorway junctions.

Some of the most hazardous areas in Merseyside include:

• The A562, The Strand, and the Queensway Tunnel: These areas near Liverpool are heavily trafficked and prone to accidents, particularly involving foreign drivers unfamiliar with local road layouts.
• Birkenhead: The A552 and A41, along with the challenging junctions around the Kingsway Tunnel at Vauxhall, are notorious for collisions, especially near the Royal Street and Barlow Lane junctions.
• M58/M6 interchange: The multi-lane junctions, particularly at junction 4, are complex and can cause confusion, leading to accidents.
• A565 and A570: Routes through Bootle, Formby, and Southport, such as the A565 near Lulworth Road and the A570 Scarisbrick New Road, have seen multiple fatal accidents.
• A561 in Garston: This road, particularly near the A562 junction, has witnessed a significant number of severe collisions, partly due to heavy traffic around John Lennon Airport.

While Merseyside is more urban than rural, there are still some rural roads in areas like West Kirby and Heswall. These coastal roads, such as the A540 and the B5140 Caldy Road, have also seen fatal accidents in recent years.

This is just a brief overview of collision hotspots in Merseyside. If you’re concerned about any specific roads or areas in the region and would like more detailed information about accident risks, feel free to contact us. We offer a free service to help you understand which areas may have a higher risk of collisions.
