For all our bespoke driving courses in Yorkshire, we provide training on a range of roads and different areas, which can include:
Motorway training – Yorkshire is a vast county with numerous motorways, particularly in the Leeds area. The A1 motorway runs through central Yorkshire and into Sunderland. From this motorway, we can connect to the M62 through Leeds, and then to Huddersfield and Manchester. When we deliver advanced driver training for motorways, we can teach several car control systems, such as IPSGA – information, planning, speed, gear, and acceleration, to hone your forward planning and observation techniques. Understanding the regulations of motorways, such as Smart motorways without a hard shoulder, and knowing how to enter and exit safely is essential for anyone who intends to use faster routes. New drivers who have never driven on the motorway systems have an increased risk of a near miss or collision, as the speed and number of vehicles can be overwhelming. By committing to extra tailored training, you can overcome the stress many nervous drivers feel with motorway driving – before you start to avoid them altogether.
Rural Roads – Yorkshire has thousands of miles of rural roads and lanes, with many running along the coast to the East, from the River Humber to Middlesbrough. Between York and Hornsea on the coast, several routes, including the A1079, A166, and A165, intersect with minor B roads that have seen numerous accidents. Unfortunately, they tend to be more severe statistically. Rural roads have numerous issues, including mud left by farming vehicles, which slows traffic, as well as seasonal flooding and ice/snow. We teach specific car control systems when helping with rural driving, such as the ‘limit point’ when driving on bendy roads. We also show you how to overtake safely or reverse to allow another vehicle to pass on very narrow lanes. If you are more used to town driving or motorways, then rural driving can be an issue, as not only is there less street lighting, but the temptation to speed for some can be hazardous. Knowing how to use your own skills to avoid such situations is essential.
Urban Training – Leeds is the largest town in Yorkshire, and, like many towns and cities across the UK, it is constantly expanding with new routes being constructed and diversions emerging, which can cause confusion for many drivers. Leeds has a sprawling urban area and boasts a comprehensive network of roads, including the A61, A63, and A64, which we can utilise to hone urban driving skills. Mostly, the accidents that occur in urban environments are due to frustration, especially during hectic times of the day. Accidents may be less severe (compared to motorway or rural road collisions) as they tend to occur at slower speeds, but they can still be easily avoided in most cases. Knowing how to navigate complicated one-way systems or busy ring roads with many large urban roundabouts is vital if you want to stay safe. Extra driver training can help you use your mirrors more effectively, be completely aware of your surroundings, and anticipate the actions of other road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
With a focus on exceptional quality, we offer a personalised, one-to-one service backed by a talented team of professionals who take pride in their work. For driver training, we take the time to handpick the best tutors, ensuring our customers receive the best training possible.
