Defensive Driving

For those who want to reach a higher level, courses can be arranged to help individuals to do exactly that.

Following an assessment and taking into account the personal aspirations of a client, coaching/tuition would be tailored accordingly.

Defensive driving techniques are based on “Driving: The Essential Skills” and the police driving handbook "Roadcraft", which stresses the need for drivers to have the correct attitude and to drive responsibly at all times. Defensive driving is about concentrating, observing and anticipating. By applying these three correctly the driver will always have space around the vehicle and time to plan.

Eco-driving is now becoming more relevant due to heightened awareness of climate change and the high cost of fuel. Techniques used in defensive driving reflect the same ethos as eco-driving and therefore they compliment each other.

'Drive to Arrive' can provide a training solution to assist you. Instruction can be given in your own vehicle or one of the training vehicles, a Yoyota Yaris 1.3 or Seat Ibiza 1.4 with a petrol engine.
