Mature Driver Assessment<\/h2>\n

\"maturedriver\"Whatever your age, if you are an experienced driver your style of driving evolves and changes over the years.\u00a0 Sometimes this can lead to habits that can impact your safety behind the wheel, without you even realising it.<\/p>\n

As we get older, we all change and factors like our reactions, hearing and eyesight can all be affected.\u00a0 Any changes aren't\u00a0necessarily a problem, but it can be prudent to ensure your style of driving is appropriate for you as an individual.<\/p>\n

We can assess your driving style and see if there are any aspects that you could tweak to ensure that you stay safe whilst driving.\u00a0 We do this using the latest techniques with a focus on ensuring that you are safe and not get hung up on the details (for example it's not important if your hands are at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel as long as you are safely controlling the wheel).<\/p>\n

We'll go out for a drive in your car across a variety of road types, but focusing on the kinds of roads you use most in your normal driving.\u00a0 We'll initially just watch whilst you drive normally.\u00a0 Then we'll stop and have a chat, discussing anything that we identify might affect your safety and how you can tweak anything to improve.\u00a0 Then we can practice any changes with us there to talk your through and support you.\u00a0 If we need further sessions we can arrange these, however as an experienced driver it's usually possible for you to make any tweaks within a single session.\u00a0 One we've finished we'll have a de-brief session and then we will write up and send you a report detailing our thoughts and any recommendations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In short the process is:<\/p>\n
