Motorway Driving Courses for Newly Qualified/Young Drivers and Experienced Drivers
We do offer a very bespoke motorway driving course, which is designed for newly qualified drivers.
The key difference with this course for younger drivers is that the focus is more on introducing a driver to these roads, and helping them get used to the differences compared to driving on slower roads.
We will look at:
- How to safely enter and exit motorways
- Learning how to deal with higher speeds – speeds, which a driver may not have driven at before
- Understanding the need for looking much further ahead than usual
- Become aware of inpatient drivers and how to avoid them
- HGV blind spots – and avoiding them
- Learning to cope with monotonous driving – especially true on long journeys
- Coping with an emergency on a motorway
- Learn to safely overtake slower vehicles
- What is getting boxed in, and how to avoid getting boxed in
- Safe following distances
There are many more things we cover, the points above just tend to be more relevant with newly qualified drivers. With older and/or more experienced drivers, there tends to be a lot of work on ironing out ingrained bad habits. This is not as much of an issue with a newly qualified driver.
