Refresher Training
Have you had a gap between passing your test and taking your first drive?
It’s quite common for people to pass their test and then not have a car to drive straight away. This can lead to ‘rustiness’ behind the wheel.
Having 1 or 2 hours with an instructor is a great way to blow away those cobwebs in a safe environment, potentially saving you the time and money even a small prang could cost if you try and get behind the wheel after a long absence.
Have you been involved in an accident?
Even if it wasn’t your fault, you can feel very nervous driving again after an accident and one of the best things you can do is get back behind the wheel as soon as possible.
We can provide you with a safe and encouraging environment to do that, whilst at the same time helping you understand what happened and what may have been avoided. We can also point out ways to help you drive defensively, a term that means you always fit in with other peoples’ actions, reducing the risk of being caught out.
Need to brush up on your parking?
Picture the scene; you’re in town looking for somewhere to park and you see a space between 2 cars that’s big enough for your car but you’re not sure if you can reverse parallel park into it, especially as there’s people waiting behind you.
Should you let the people behind go past? Who has priority? You decide to abandon your attempt and drive away to look for a bigger space, frustrated at how restricted you feel. Maybe you are so unsure of your skill that you didn’t even consider it, and drive past thinking, “if only I could have parked in there!”
Sound familiar? How about this?...
You’re at the supermarket and you see a parking space right by the door, “perfect” you think, “I won’t have to carry my shopping very far at all when I come out”.
You proceed to try and park between the lines going in forward but because your car isn’t as manoeuvrable in a forward gear as it is in reverse, you find yourself not quite making it and now people are being held up. Again, you decide to abandon and go for the space that’s easy to park in with no cars next to you. The only problem is that it’s a 5 minute walk to the door!
We focused on parking but these scenarios, and others including any aspect of driving, are quite common. Everyone has something they don’t quite understand on the road, whether it be parking, roundabouts or junctions, it can leave you being the subject of your friends’ and family’s jokes.
Help is here! As little as 1 hour with one of our instructors can give you the foundation you need to build your skills as an expert driver.
We can help cure any of those little doubts you have about any area of your driving and ‘fill in’ those skill gaps for you. Many people choose to take more than 1 hour after they have seen how helpful our instruction is.
