For all our bespoke driving courses in Hertfordshire, we provide training on a range of roads and different areas, which can include:
Motorway training – There are many motorways across Hertfordshire, especially the M1 from London and the M25 north orbital. As Hertfordshire is very close to London, with thousands of commuters daily, driving confidently and calmly on motorways is essential. The A1 motorway, running north to south of Hertfordshire, is an ideal location for motorway training, and we can create a course that incorporates many motorway routes. Although motorways are statistically the safest route of travel, the sheer volume of traffic can be daunting. Quite often, especially during rush hours, it can be slow-moving, which can be very frustrating. It is not always speed that can cause accidents on a motorway. It can be a lack of awareness, boredom or drivers trying to rush through traffic.
Rural Roads – The further out from London, the more rural roads will be found. Between Luton and Knebworth, you will find routes can be pretty treacherous in certain conditions, such as the Kimpton Road and the B656 towards Welwyn. Rural roads have significantly less lighting, unless you enter a village, and are rarely equipped with speed limit signs. By learning how to read road furniture – lines and signs – you will be much better aware and more able to anticipate other possible road users and navigate such roads more confidently.
Urban Training – Larger towns throughout Hertfordshire are full of busy and often confusing urban routes. From re-routing traffic from the town centres to new retail parks, there are many new areas to navigate. If you are unfamiliar with driving in urban environments, you may find rush hour traffic, the number of pedestrians and cyclists to be aware of, as well as trying to avoid buses and lorries, very frustrating, which can knock your confidence. The A411 ring road in Watford can be hectic, much like the other inner-city ring roads throughout Hertfordshire. We can create a course that helps address many urban driving issues.
Bespoke Training Around You:
Our bespoke training is what separates us from other training providers. The thought of a rigid, tick-box, one-size-fits-all driving course fills us with dread. They’re uninspiring, boring and rarely get the most from a driver. So when we talk about “bespoke training”, what do we actually mean?
We approach training in the same way we approach our customers, whether business or personal; each one is unique. Every driver approaches driving differently, influenced by both internal and external factors. Internal elements include personality type, attitudes, and concentration. External elements include factors such as years of driving experience, mileage covered, positive and negative experiences, and others.
Remember – We build all our driving courses from scratch and are built around your specific needs. This applies to both business and private customers all over the UK.
