The routes we take with our driving courses in Wiltshire vary based on what you want from the training and where in the county you’re located. If you are in the south of Wiltshire, we often drive out on the A303, either east towards the South Downs National park, Winchester, or west towards Taunton direction. These routes provide a varied range of roads for the course. For motorway training, we almost always drive towards the M4, which runs across north Wiltshire, from Junction 18 in the west to Junction 15 in the east.

Remember – All our driving courses are bespoke to your own needs. For both business and private clients. 

If you are located in the middle or north of the county, we often head north towards Cheltenham or east towards the Reading area. Again we never give a set route due to so many varying factors. Each course is completely bespoke to the driver, and from a reporting point of view, we measure a driver both before and after the training so you can see how a driver has progressed and in what areas.

On our advanced courses, we cover a range of elements bespoke to the needs of the driver. Below are the common things we look at:

* Looking at a driver’s own specific day-to-day driving, and driving history to make a bespoke training plan

Road Safety Risks and Information – Wiltshire

Wiltshire is primarily served by the M4, the county’s only dedicated motorway, which crosses the northern part of the region from Bristol to London, passing through areas like Castle Combe and Royal Wootton Bassett. Several fast A roads also link Wiltshire to neighboring counties such as Dorset, Hampshire, Berkshire, Avon, and the Cotswolds. While Wiltshire is a picturesque and bustling county, attracting both tourists and commuters due to its proximity to London, it also has high collision rates across many of its major routes.

One area of concern is the intersection of the A350 at Junction 17 of the M4, where numerous accidents occur, particularly on the roundabout. Poor lane positioning is often a contributing factor in these incidents. The M4 itself is prone to accidents throughout its route across Wiltshire, largely due to roadworks and slow-moving traffic, which can lead to minor collisions from poor observations and frustration, especially during peak hours. Another accident hotspot is the roundabout at Junction 16, where the M4 meets the A3102. Drivers should exercise caution here, as it’s another area with frequent collisions.

The A429, which runs from the Cotswolds to Junction 17 of the M4, is a fast, winding road that sees numerous accidents, especially near Kemble village, which has an active railway station serving Cirencester. Additionally, there are many severe accidents near the roundabout connecting the A429 to the B4042 into Malmesbury. When faster A roads intersect with rural lanes, the risk of accidents increases, especially when minor roads connect to major routes. Contributing factors include obstructed views caused by overgrown hedges, excessive speed, and inadequate signaling. It’s crucial to be mindful of signs indicating minor road crossings and to stay alert for vehicles entering from side roads.

The A350, which starts at Junction 17 of the M4, passes through towns like Chippenham, Melksham, and Warminster, and is a heavily traveled route, particularly during the summer due to tourism. It connects with the A36 for Bristol and Bath and merges with the A303 near West Knoyle. The A303 itself is a high-speed route stretching from Devon through Somerset, Dorset, and into Hampshire, and has seen numerous serious collisions. The junction where the A350 meets the A303 is particularly hazardous, with several severe and even fatal accidents reported. This rural crossroad sees accidents due to excessive speed and poor observation, especially when drivers are not prepared for the fast-moving traffic. Much of the A303 is littered with crash sites, particularly in stretches that lack a dual carriageway, underscoring the dangers of speed and oncoming traffic.

This overview only scratches the surface of the accident hot spots in Wiltshire.
