For all our bespoke driving courses in Yorkshire, we provide training on a range of roads and different areas, which can include:
Motorway training – Yorkshire is a vast county with many motorway systems, especially around the Leeds area. The A1 motorway runs through central Yorkshire and into Sunderland, and from this motorway, we can connect to M62 through Leeds and into Huddersfield and Manchester. When we deliver advanced driver training for motorways, we can teach several car control systems such as IPSGA – information, planning, speed, gear, accelerate, and hone your forward planning and observation techniques. Understanding the regulations of motorways, such as Smart motorways, without a hard shoulder and knowing how to enter and exit safely is a must for anyone who intends to use faster routes. New drivers who have never driven on the motorway systems have an increased risk of a near miss or collision as the speed and number of vehicles can be overwhelming. By committing to extra tailored training, you can overcome the stress many nervous drivers feel with motorway driving – before you start to avoid them altogether.
Rural Roads – Yorkshire has thousands of miles of rural roads and lanes, with many being coastal to the East from the river Humber to Middlesborough. Between York and Hornsea on the coast, many routes, such as the A1079, the A166 and the A165, link in with minor B roads that have seen many accidents. Unfortunately, they tend to be more severe statistically. Rural roads have many issues, from farming vehicles leaving mud on the roads, slowing traffic, or seasonal flooding plus ice/snow. We teach specific car control systems when helping with rural driving, such as the ‘limit point’ when driving on bendy roads. We also show you how to overtake safely or reverse to allow another vehicle to pass on very narrow lanes. If you are more used to town driving or motorways, then rural driving can be an issue, as not only is there less street lighting, but the temptation to speed for some can be very hazardous. Knowing how to use your own skills to avoid such situations is essential.
Urban Training – Leeds is the largest town in Yorkshire and, much like many towns and cities across the UK, is forever expanding with new routes being constructed and diversions springing up, confusing many drivers. Leeds has a sprawling urban area and has a great network of roads, such as the A61, A63 and A64, and we can use these junctions to hone urban driving skills. Mostly the accidents that happen in urban environments are down to frustration, especially in hectic times of the day. Accidents may be less severe (compared to motorway or rural road collisions) as they tend to be at slower speeds, but still, they can be easily avoided in most cases. Knowing how to navigate complicated one-way systems or busy ring roads with many large urban roundabouts is vital if you want to stay safe. Extra driver training can help you use your mirrors more effectively and be completely aware of your surroundings, and being able to anticipate the actions of other road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
With a focus on exceptional quality, we provide a personal, one-to-one service supported by a talented team of professionals who love what they do. For driver training, we take the time to handpick the best tutors to ensure our customers receive the best training possible. Our flexibility means we can tailor a driving course to a customer’s specific needs.
