Skid Training and Advanced Driving Course for Young People | | Young drivers are more at risk of being involved in an accident, in fact statistics reveal 1 in 5 of young drivers crash in their first year of driving. Research shows the reasons for this are: Lack of experience - Poor risk perception
- Poor driving attitude
- Peer pressure
Our advanced courses, aimed at young people who have passed their driving test, take the Pass Pluss Scheme and deliver it to a higher level. Overseen by Police Advanced Driving Instructors, the course is not only designed to enhance basic driving skills but to develop a positive driving attitude. More information | |
