For all our bespoke driving courses in Milton Keynes, we provide training on a range of roads and different areas, which can include:
Motorway training – The M1 Motorway, located on the eastern side of Milton Keynes, runs from London to Leeds and is a very busy route that has seen many collisions, particularly at the junctions with faster A roads, such as the A509 and the A421. Motorway confidence requires excellent observations and a good understanding of speed for joining and exiting junctions along the way.
Rural Roads – Milton Keynes is situated within the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside, featuring numerous miles of rural roads to explore. Still, as picturesque as they are, they can also be very hazardous if you are unfamiliar with the area or drive too fast. Many accidents occur in rural areas due to poor observation and excessive speed. For example, the A422 Stratford Road has seen many severe collisions, including those in the narrow lanes around the villages of Leckhamstead and Lillingstone Dayrell. Our driver training for rural roads will help improve both your skills and confidence.
Urban Training – Milton Keynes is a sprawling, relatively new town, and considerable thought was given to the town’s construction and road layout, which features a grid system that makes navigating the town easy. Unfortunately, despite their simplicity, grid pattern routes are littered with accident sites. Traffic light junctions and roundabouts are the worst-affected areas, and although incidents may be less severe due to lower speeds, they can still create chaos, especially during rush hour situations. Driving safely in busy urban areas requires patience, thorough observation, and clear indications to allow other drivers to see what you plan to do.
Course format:
* Initial introductions and car/van checks
* 20-minute initial drive – to allow our tutors to get to grips with the driver’s specific driving style and to put the driver at ease – this isn’t a driving test, but a day of enjoyable learning.
* Debrief – to outline what the tutor observed, explain what the rest of the session covers, and answer any further questions the driver may have.
* Main part – working with the driver to address opportunities for developing their driving and introduce various advanced driving concepts such as The Limit Point, and The System of Car Control, Anticipation, Planning, Skid Control, etc. This is where the main part of the training takes place.
* Debrief – At the end of the course, feedback from both the driver and tutor take place.
A few days after the course, a driving report for each driver will be sent to you. This report provides an overview of the course, offers feedback for the driver, and serves as a record of your Duty of Care in regard to driver training.
