Course Content:
Our defensive driving courses (also known as advanced driving courses) cover the following elements:
* Observation & Forward Planning: We help drivers look much further up the road when driving. Many traffic incidents occur due to a lack of planning and observation. We help drivers look and think – and not just see.
* Anticipation: We help drivers develop an inquiring mind when driving. Has that driver seen me? What is that cycling doing? All these are critical factors in learning to be a safe driver. Anticipation is a key element of driving and intertwines with observation and forward planning.
* Car Control: We help drivers on our defensive driving course to understand all elements of car control, from the use of the steering and foot controls to learning how to handle a car on different road surfaces and types, in varying weather conditions.
* Rules of the Road: Many drivers are not aware of the various rules of the road. During our defensive driving courses, we ensure any obvious gaps in their knowledge is filled and that their level of knowledge improves. Rules of the road include regulations, and traffic signs along with any other relevant issues.
* All-Weather Driving: Our defensive driving courses are designed to equip drivers with the necessary skills to drive in all weather. We cover this in theory and if the weather permits, in practice too!
* Driver Psychology: We help drivers understand the thinking, both positive and negative, which makes up a driver, and look at various issues such as driving when tired, driving when distracted and coping with road rage.

Bespoke Training:
Unlike other course providers, our courses are designed around the needs of the driver, so if one driver has an issue with attention, we can focus on that. If another has an issue with speed, we can work on their speed awareness. Drivers taking our defensive driving courses vary hugely. Below are a range of drivers we help:
* Drivers who require training as part of company policy
* At-risk drivers – those who are having too many accidents in company cars or vans
* New to UK drivers – those who have only recently come to the UK and need an introduction to our roads
