Driver training
Driver training
Being a good driver is an ongoing learning process.
If you would like to improve your driving, there are a number of learning packages to help you develop your skills and remain safe on the roads.
Pass Plus
A national course aimed at newly qualified drivers. Provides
extra skills, and this qualification can get substantial discounts
on insurance premiums with selected insurers. For more
details, please go to the national Pass Plus website.
Additional Driver Training
Useful for drivers of any age or experience level, this
training develops skills and eliminates bad driving habits.
The Institute of Advanced Motorists and RoSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) both offer advanced driver/rider training and tuition, which are highly recommended for increasing skill levels and helping drivers to become safer on the roads.
Older Drivers
Changes in eyesight, hearing, mobility and judgement can
mean that older drivers need to take greater care - and older
people are more likely than younger drivers to be killed or injured
in road accidents.
The Sussex Safer Roads Partnership has produced and simple guide for older drivers and will be working with organisations such as Age Concern, local authority road safety officers and emergency services to make older drivers feel they have a positive driving future.
Speed Awareness
The Speed Awareness Course is offered to people who have
had a momentary lapse in concentration and have been detected
travelling slightly over the speed limit.
The course offers practical and theory based sessions, giving drivers the chance to reassess their driving techniques. The course runs for a full day at one of several locations throughout Sussex and is run by professional driver trainers who coach attendees about the use of speed and how it relates to their driving techniques.
