For all our bespoke driving courses in Ely, we provide training on a range of roads and different areas, which can include:
Motorway training – The M1 motorway is situated west of Ely and is linked via the A412 and the A411 toward Huntingdon. Motorways are the quickest routes to travel, but can be stressful for many drivers due to the extra lanes and faster travel speed. Utilising advanced driver techniques, motorway driving can become a much calmer and smoother experience, and can be taught relatively easily with a professional tutor. When taking motorway training, you will start slowly with dual carriageways and gradually progress to faster roads, then, when ready, onto motorway junctions. You will learn how to speed up for entering, indicate and slow for exiting, and ensure you are in the correct lane in good time. With better powers of observation and learning how to scan the road ahead, motorway driving will be much less worrying. It will allow you to venture across the UK motorway systems in confidence.
Rural Roads – As Ely is situated in the heart of rural Cambridgeshire, it features hundreds of miles of minor roads and country lanes. Often, many are single-track and serve the farming communities and the surrounding villages. Rural roads can be hazardous – that’s why we dedicate a significant amount of time to these roads with our courses.
Urban Training – Ely is a picturesque cathedral city with a thriving tourism economy, and many drivers, particularly during the summer months, are unfamiliar with the area. Add this to normal rush hour traffic, which can be frustrating. When driving in busy urban environments, staying calm and composed is essential, as there are numerous additional factors to consider, including public transportation routes, pedestrians, and cyclists. Being fully aware of your surroundings and anticipating the actions of other drivers can be the difference between arriving safely at your destination and not.
