REFRESHER DRIVING SESSIONS
Refresher sessions for full licence holders
Do you avoid or dislike:
-
dual carriageways / motorways?
-
roundabouts?
-
rural roads?
-
driving at night?
-
parking?
-
all of the above?!
If you don't feel comfortable with situations, you may start to avoid them and that then compounds the issue as you feel less and less able to deal with it. This avoidance tactic could prevent you from going to certain locations and can adversely affect your quality of life.
Book a session with me and we can discuss how we can refresh your skills, tackle any areas that affect you and improve your confidence behind the wheel.
If you passed your driving test some time ago, a lot has probably changed. The roads have become busier, vehicle technology has developed and while much of this is designed to keep you safe, it can be confusing if you don’t completely understand it. Life is busy, there are competing demands, and it is difficult to keep up to date. You may even have developed some bad habits over the years...!
If not for yourself, do you have an older relative who you are concerned about when they drive? Does their car have some minor bumps and scrapes arising from a lack of judgement or spatial awareness?
I have completed the Road Safety GB Ageing Driver (ADI Training Course) so I am aware of how our driving ability can change as we all get older. This may be due to changes in eyesight, mobility and confidence. I can provide an independent assessment of a person’s driving ability and offer practical advice and suggestions to improve their safety.
I have a lot of driving anxiety, and contacted Richard for some refresher lessons to help me get back on the road after a very long break from driving.
From our first phone call, and then during lessons, he was very patient, kind and reassuring. He was able to provide exactly the guidance and support I needed, and knew the best routes to take that would gently build my confidence. I found his tuition on parking and slip roads especially helpful, and my confidence was much improved after our lessons.
I was intrigued by his background in road policing and found his knowledge and insights to be really helpful. He also gave me a demonstration of proper commentary driving, which was fascinating!
I would happily recommend Richard to others, and would definitely contact him again if I had another dip in confidence or wanted to work on further improving my driving skills.
