Drivers Area

"As a former Police Officer, and having gone through intensive driving courses, Matthew in my opinion, is on par with the instructors I have dealt with. He is the most professional, skillful man who cares about his pupils and will spend time helping them develop the skills required for our roads, if only we found you sooner."(Mr Johns-Chippenham)

The Drivers Area is designed to help you with all aspects of your driving. The area will be updated with Tips and Information for all drivers.

Save ŁŁŁ's at the pumps this summer

Saving fuel is simple. Most drivers waste more fuel than they need to. By using the tips below you can start to save fuel and money.

Is the journey necessary?
Plan your journey-Avoid busy areas if you can. Plan shopping trips so you get everything you need in the area in one go.
Sevice you vehicle regularly-Inefficient, under-serviced engines can reduce fuel economy by 10 per cent or more.
Check your tyres-Under-inflated tyres need replacing more often as well as being dangerous. Make a point of checking them at least once a week.
Obey the speed limits-Doing 56mph uses 25 per cent less fuel than 70mph and a smoother driving style can bring significant fuel saving.
Reverse when you park-The engine will be cold and at its most fuel inefficient when you start it. If you can drive away without having to reverse when the engine is cold, you will save fuel and have better visibility.

Stability Programs

Here are two examples of how the stability program works on vehicles. Although they have different names the concept is the same.

Eventually this will be standard equipment on all vehicles.
