In Norwich and its surrounding areas, we’ve successfully delivered training for a wide range of clients.
In Norfolk, we’ve provided driver training in many areas, including Norwich, Great Yarmouth, Cromer, Kings Lynn, and Thetford. Norfolk, like many counties across the UK, has a vast network of rural roads, which are often considered the most hazardous due to their challenging nature. The combination of high speeds and the close proximity of oncoming traffic makes these roads particularly dangerous. During our advanced driving courses, whether for individuals or groups of company car or van drivers, we ensure that rural roads are covered in detail.
In Norfolk, we utilise a range of B-roads and A-roads, including the A11, A47, and A140, as part of our rural road training. These roads often have junctions leading off onto smaller, more rural routes, making them ideal for teaching safer and more skilful driving practices.
Norfolk doesn’t have any motorways, so for motorway training, we typically head southwest towards the M11 or the A1 (M). For urban driving, which is a crucial part of a comprehensive advanced driving course, we focus on areas such as the centre of Norwich or residential areas like Taverham or Lakenham if you’re in the Norwich area. Here, we help drivers manage their speed in lower limits, remain mindful of vulnerable road users, and understand the risks posed to pedestrians in these environments.
Remember – All our driving courses are bespoke to your own needs. For both business and private clients.

Road Safety Risks and Information – Norfolk
Norfolk does not have any dedicated motorways, with the nearest fast road being the A1, located west of the county at Peterborough. However, Norfolk is well-served by a number of fast A roads, as well as rural and coastal lanes, which have unfortunately been the site of many fatal accidents in recent years.
One particularly hazardous route is the A17, stretching from the Cross Keys Swing Bridge at Little Sutton to Kings Lynn. This high-speed road has witnessed numerous collisions, particularly around dual carriageway sections and the roundabout junctions where it merges with the A47. The rural Main Road from Clenchwarton into Kings Lynn is another accident-prone area, accessible via the A47 Shoreboat Roundabout and Tilney High End.
The A418 from Kings Lynn to Cromer is also known for severe accidents, particularly at junctions where minor roads intersect with the faster A roads, such as at Knights Hill Roundabout and near Thursford Wood. The stretch from Holt to Cromer along the A148 is another high-risk area, with accidents occurring in quick succession. Similarly, the A149 through Cromer, North Walsham, Stalham, Sutton, and Batswick has a troubling record of accidents.
The A47 into Norwich from Dereham has seen numerous fatal collisions, with similar incidents continuing along Dereham Road into the heart of Norwich. The route from Acle to Great Yarmouth also has a significant number of fatalities, particularly in the Acle area. The A140, running from Ipswich into Norwich, is another fast route where fatal accidents have been recorded, especially near intersections with minor roads, such as the B1527 between Low Tharston and Hempnall.
This is only a brief overview of some of the higher-risk areas in Norfolk. If you regularly travel on specific roads in the region and would like to know more about areas with a higher risk of collisions, please feel free to contact us. We offer a free-of-charge service to anyone interested in learning more.
