Your Motorway Anxiety – Resolved:
.
Motorway anxiety is much more common than most think. Despite them being the safest of all UK roads, the speed, congestion and often complex junctions leave many dreading the thought of driving on them. This is why we have designed our bespoke motorway course, designed for drivers who want to regain their freedom and take control of motorway driving once and for all.
Our motorway courses are similar to our very popular nationwide advanced driving courses. The first thing we do in all our motorway courses is to listen to you, discuss your anxieties, talk about things you’re okay with, and also things that really concern you about motorway driving. Listening means we can much better bespoke the training to your own specific needs.

On the Day:
.
Talking & Opening Up: On the day of the course, you will meet your tutor for a further informal, non-judgemental chat before the driving starts. We have a carefully set of questions we ask at the start, designed to get a better understanding of you and how best we can help. We ask insightful questions such as:
- How do you rate your driving
- What are your main fears and concerns
- What you want to achieve from the training
- What has motivated you to do this training
- What sort of driver you would love to become
The things you discuss here will form the pathway to improved driving confidence, which will be referred back to during your training with us.
If appropriate, there will be an initial drive where you will drive without any coaching from the tutor. This allows the tutor to assess your current strengths and weaknesses. A short debrief takes place before the training begins.
If you have not driven on a motorway or are specifically anxious about motorways, we will start slowly. A member of our team will be happy to discuss any specific issues you may have before booking.
