We provide bespoke advanced/defensive driver training to companies and private individuals, using our national network of DVSA-registered advanced driving instructors.
For all our bespoke driving courses in Tyneside, we provide training on a range of roads and different areas, which can include:
Motorway training – Tyneside is served by the A1 motorway that joins the A194 motorway at Springwell. We use these two motorway routes when we are undertaking motorway courses in the Tyneside area. We also use the faster routes of the A184, A19, and A69 to the north of the county. When using faster routes, we can help train drivers to be confident and safe at all times. We can teach many advanced driver techniques to help drivers with motorway confidence issues, such as being boxed in by large lorries and worrying about entering and exiting motorway junctions. It is well known that motorway driving is the safest way to drive, but the speed and amount of traffic worry many drivers. With a course unique to your specific needs, we can help you become the confident driver you have always wanted to be.
Rural Roads – There are many rural roads in the north and south of the River Tyne, and we have used them to help many drivers feel safer when using rural roads. Rural driving requires its own specific skills, and if you are unfamiliar with driving on such roads, a course can be beneficial. Rural driving can be hazardous, especially during the winter months, when road closures are more frequent due to fallen trees or flooding, as well as risks from snow and ice. During the summer months, the rural roads in Tyneside can become much busier with tourists and caravans.
Urban Training – The largest urban area in Tyneside is Newcastle on Tyne, followed by Gateshead and Jarrow. We have taken many drivers through urban driver training in these areas, from staying calm and composed in heavy traffic to understanding the large urban junctions and roundabouts that link to ring roads around the town centres. Rush hour traffic is where the majority of urban accidents occur; we can help you stay safe while driving on these complex roads.
