Learner Driver Training

Lessons are centered around an individuals pace of learning. Coaching methods are used as opposed to the outdated method of 'telling' the pupil what to do.

The benefits of Coaching over Instructing:

  1. Responsibility for driving starts from day one.
  2. Develops early understanding of safe driving procedures.
  3. More likely to Pass the Driving Test first time
  4. Less likely to have a crash after passing the Driving Test
The course of driving lessons is broken down into three main areas. This aids the learning process and helps to keep everything focused.
Basic Car Control-
Developing good control skills at the early stages of driver training.

Road Procedures-
Improving on the initial skills that have been learnt. Enabling the Novice Driver to drive competently with other road users and respond to differing road situations.

Skills Transfers-
Driving at an advanced level, in more complicated environments, using methods from RoadCraft.

The lessons themselves are based on teaching you how to drive, not just for the test but also for life afterwards.

Some of the lessons that you will do include:
  • Advanced Car Control-Using advanced driving methods learn to drive smoothly at high speeds. This is not a Dual Carriageway lesson. It is designed to help you understand how a car will react at speeds above 50mph on country roads.
  • Eco-Driving-A lesson based on driving economically. Saving fuel and money. It is also part of the Driving Test now.

Driving Instructor Training Courses

Would you like to train to become a Driving Instructor?

Would you like to earn £30,000 a year?

No doubt you have seen the adverts on television, or in newspapers, that offer training to become a driving instructor. They usually say that it is a job that you can fit around your life and still earn £30,000 a year. It sounds good and if you speak to the national training providers, then after a short drive to see if you are instructor material, you will find out that your driving is good and you can talk whilst driving.

"You are Driving Instructor material!"

Then the reality kicks in. The promises that you got when you first spoke to the training provider soon disappear, once you hand over your money. I know this as I was one of many Instructors who got caught up in all the promises of loads of work, money, and job flexibility. So I want to make sure that anyone who is thinking of training to become a driving instructor is given the full facts before handing over huge amounts of cash. Infact it is only the national training providers who require full payment upfront.

If you want to know more about instructor training then you can call me on 01249 891350, or go to Smart Driving for independent advice.

Eco-Driving Session

The session lasts no more than 90 minutes and aims to save you fuel and money. Tests have shown that just a few minor changes in how you drive can save you as much as 15% in fuel costs, without reducing the top speed.

If you want to reduce your fuel useage and save money then give me a call on 01249 891350.

The Magic Roundabout Challenge

Magic Roundabout

Conquer your driving fears. Whether it is negotiating the Magic Roundabout, or driving on the motorway, I can help. A lot of drivers are not very confident about their own driving, or are intimidated by other drivers behaviour. This is usually because of inadequate training during the time they were learning to drive.

So if you would like to conquer your driving fears call me on 01249 891350.

You can then start the process to become more confident, and safer on the roads.
