What to expect
The Safer Drivers Course is delivered over two sessions:
- Module 1 is a 3-hour facilitator-led in-class session with 12 learner drivers.
- Module 2 is a 2-hour in-car session with two learner drivers and a professional driving instructor
Module 1
Module 1 of the Safer Drivers Course is a 3 hour in the class session. It is run as an informal group discussion led by an experienced facilitator, with 6-12 learner drivers. The main focus of these sessions are to:
- Develop an awareness of the increase in crash risk for young drivers when they transition from supervised to independent driving.
- Look at reducing your crash risk by adopting safe driving behaviors, minimizing risk taking and making safe on-road decisions.
- Introduce ‘low-risk driving strategies’, such as crash avoidance space, speed management, gap selection, etc… which will be put into practice in module 2.
- Reducing your crash risk by managing peer influence, passenger behavior and general lifestyle pressures that can lead to speeding, driver distraction, and fatigue.
Module 2
Module 2 of the course is a 2-hour in-car session, completed along with another learner driver and your allocated Coach. Safer Drivers Course Coaches are always fully qualified professional driving instructors and you will be driving a fully insured and dual control equipped driving instructor’s car.
Although the session is delivered by a professional qualified driving instructor, this is not your average driving lesson. Module 2 of the Safer Drivers Course will focus on helping you better understand low-risk driving strategies such as speed management, gap selection, hazard awareness and safe following distances; Equipping you with the knowledge and skills to be aware and confident of your surroundings. So you get the most out of the course, your Coach will not spend time on technical skills such as parking, 3 point turns or Driving Test preparation, these are best covered at another time in one-to-one driving lessons with a driving instructor.
Whilst Low-risk driving strategies should always form part of a well-structured curriculum delivered through driving lessons by a professional driving instructor, module 2 of the Safer Drivers Course is a dedicated low-risk driving session allowing you and your coach to really focus on what matters most – Staying safe on our roads.
