MOTORWAY LESSONS

Despite the speeds involved in driving on motorways, these roads are relatively safe ways to get around. But when accidents do occur they can be serious.

Often, accidents can be avoided by a skilful driver knowing how to read situations and react to other motorway drivers, as well as how to handle their own vehicle correctly.

Since learner drivers are not permitted to drive on motorways, newly qualified drivers will have no experience of them. To learn how to deal with motorway rules and rapidly developing situations - which are often unique to motorways - it is well worth booking some specific motorway lessons to develop your skills further. This can be extremely useful whether you are a new driver or would simply like to build up your competence.

Lessons cover all aspects of motorway driving, including:

• planning journeys
• joining and leaving motorways; using slip roads
• safe speeds under different circumstances
• effective observation around your vehicle
• signs, signals and markings
• overtaking and lane discipline
• courtesy to other road users
• motorway fatigue
• breakdown procedures
• use of lights, including hazard warning lights
• debris on the carriageway
• crosswinds

PS. Our experienced tutors may even be able to let you in on the secrets of where to find the best motorway service stations…

REFRESHER LESSONS

These lessons are for drivers who hold a full licence, but may have not driven for some time and need to rediscover those skills they once had.

It can be a very rewarding experience and will give you the confidence to get back behind the wheel and onto the open road again.

ADVANCED AND DEFENCIVE DRIVING LESSONS

If you would like to develop your driving skills to a much higher level, then this type of training could be for you.

You must have a full licence, as some motorway driving may be required.
