Advanced & Defensive Driving Courses Wiltshire
A number of our advanced driving tutors are based in Wiltshire, where we offer driver training services to both businesses and private clients.
Training can be done on a 2:1 basis, with one driver going out in the morning for 3.5 hours and another in the afternoon for the same duration. We also do 1:1 driver training for both half and full days.
We cover Wiltshire and all of the UK – We come to you for the training:
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 Wiltshire, we provide training on a range of roads and different areas, which can include:
Motorway training – Wiltshire’s main motorway is the M4 from Bristol to London in the north of the county. There are also other faster routes with dual carriageways, such as the A350 that joins the A36 and the A303 in the south of the county. Motorway driving is a skill that requires confidence, as the higher speeds and increased traffic can be intimidating. With training, you can learn advanced driving techniques that can really help you overcome a range of issues and use motorways safely. Entering and exiting motorway junctions and maintaining the correct speed are just a few of the key points we cover.
Rural Roads – The beautiful county of Wiltshire is littered with rural roads and country lanes, and it has a thriving farming community. Driving in rural areas presents specific challenges, including ice and snow in the winter, and, of course, floods, which can occur at any time of the year. In the summer, you can expect a lot of farm machinery on the roads, tourists and cyclists, especially during the weekends. The winter months can bring fallen trees alongside the aforementioned ice and snow, sometimes making many lanes impassable. There are few to no streetlights, and warning signs can be limited, making rural driving very hazardous. Additionally, rural roads can be fast and winding, with varying road surfaces, making for a less than ideal combination. Many accidents in rural areas involve younger drivers or those unfamiliar with the area. For example, the B4005 and the A463 from Wroughton have been involved in numerous accidents, with sadly, high fatalities. Understanding how to use rural roads effectively is essential if you intend to drive on them.
Urban Training – The largest town in Wiltshire is Swindon, where we have trained many drivers. For example, the A419 meeting with the M4 and routes into Swindon are used throughout our training sessions, as well as the A30 and A36 junctions into Salisbury. All towns will have busier urban areas with one-way systems around the town centres, leading to large ring roads and multilane traffic light systems, which can be confusing if you are unfamiliar with them. With urban driving, accident rates are relatively high, and they tend to occur very close to junctions at lower speeds, where drivers may not be paying enough attention or are cut up by impatient drivers. Maintaining your composure in frustrating urban environments is crucial, especially during rush hours or when navigating unfamiliar diversion routes.
Although our courses are bespoke to your needs, below are a number of things we often cover based on a driver’s ability, skill and what they want from a session:
* Reviewing a driver’s specific day-to-day driving, and motoring history so to create a bespoke training plan
* Developing a drivers powers of observation
* Understanding speed and creating a focus on excessive speed and its implications
* Changing attitude towards a safer way to drive
* Learning the System of Car Control
* Manoeuvres, reversing, driving in tight spaces such as car parks
* Motorway driving
* Urban driving
* Ecosafe driving
* How to boost driving confidence
