Refresher Driving Lessons
After passing your test this is where the real learning starts to take place and that is why the pass plus scheme is recommended to give you that extra confidence as a driver. The past plus scheme unfortunatly only lasts for a period of 12 months from the date of passing your test so what do you do if you want to carry out something simular at a later stage
We get lots of people contacting us with regards to taking addtional driving lessons many years after 1st passing their test. Some drivers for whatever reason would you believe never drove a car or would only drive on roads that are familar to them.
The refresher / confidence lessons are designed and taylor made to suit you. You will have an idea of your weakness's when you contact us, so after an assessment and a chat with one of our girls we will work with you to enhance your driving and confidence - We will at your request demonstrate to you how to read a map so as you will be more confident to go further afield - If you want to take it another step read on about the advance driving test that you can do.

Institute of Advanced Motorists (the IAM)
The aims and objectives of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (the IAM) are very simple:-
- To improve the standard of driving (and riding) on the UK roads.
- The Advancement of Road Safety.
- The Administration of an Advanced Test.
Those aims were set in the late 1950s and are still relevant today. Too many people are being killed or seriously injured on our roads each and every year and it is well known that the majority of accidents are caused by Driver Error. Educate the driver into a better way of driving and the accident rate will fall - it's drivers that cause accidents, not cars. While educating drivers is not explicity one of the IAMs objectives, that is what we try to do (and do the best) because that meets all the other objectives.
RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders
The main aim of RoSPA Advanced Drivers and Riders is the reduction of road accidents by encouraging interest in road safety, by improving driving standards, knowledge and skill and by enabling members to pass RoSPA's Advanced Driving Test. To become a member of RoSPA Advanced Driver and Riders, you need to successfully pass the Advanced test which can be upgraded to a BTEC qualification and then pay a Membership subscription that will entitle you to a number of benefits. These benefits include discounts on RAC Membership, discounts through Devitt insurance, subscription to the RoSPA Care on the Road newspaper and many more.
GEM The Guild of Experienced Motorists
It is the leading independent driver-based road safety association, with around 60,000 members driving vehicles which display the Guild's famous and prestigious badge. GEM members are expected to drive with care, courtesy and concentration and thus set a good example on the roads.
Founded as a road safety association in 1932 the Guild has developed an important and nationally recognised place in the road safety field. It has played, and continues to do so, a significant role in national and local road safety issues.
