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 on.

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.

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

We have a range of bespoke driving courses for both private individuals and company clients. We help those that are having specific issues, whether that’s driving anxiety, a pre-court driving course, or they just want to increase their level of skill and safety. With regard to company clients, we can help provide training for just one or as many as 1,000 drivers.

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 spans the river Mersey and Liverpool, with Ellesmere Port to the South and Southport along the Coast in the north. Merseyside is a very busy area with traffic to and from the ports, and there is an extensive urban network of fast A road routes that stretch out from the centre of Liverpool and beyond, linking to the motorways of the M53 from Birkenhead, the M62 into Manchester and the M58 where it merges with the M6.

As Merseyside carries a lot of haulage traffic, it includes a lot of foreign drivers, and this can add to the number of collisions that happen in the area, especially on the man routes around the port areas and the motorways, so you must bear in mind that you may encounter drivers who are perhaps unfamiliar with UK driving when driving on such routes. The worst affected areas are the A562, The Strand and the Queensway Tunnel over the Mersey and the A552 and the A41 in Birkenhead. The A59 and the challenging interchange from the Kingsway Tunnel at Vauxhall is another route that is fraught with collision sites, especially in the stretch of road between the Royal Street and Barlow Lane junctions. The M5080 merging into the M62 is a highly bustling route as it leads directly into Manchester, and the multi-lane intersection at junction 4 can be challenging to navigate.

The A565 through Bootle and Formby is a busy A road that has seen several fatal accidents in recent years, especially in the Lulworth Road area of Southport. The A570 Scarisbrick New Road leading from there has also seen its fair share of severe accidents too. The A561 leading through Garston and John Lennon Airport is another route that has seen too many severe accidents, especially around the merging of the A562. Many of the inner city roads around Liverpool centre are accident blackspots. The B5178 High Street and the A562 Upper Parliament Street are some of the worse affected, very similar to Hanover Street and Bridge Lane to the East of the City.

Merseyside is less rural than many other counties, and the most rural roads are around West Kirby and Heswall, where the roads are very coastal, and accidents here have been found mainly along the A540 and the B5140 Caldy Road.

This is a very brief outline of collision sites throughout Merseyside. If you have specific roads you travel within in the area and are keen to discover if any areas are at higher risk of collisions, please contact us. We offer a free-of-charge service to anyone who is interested.
