Improve your reverse parking:

It’s like a golf swing…once you’ve been shown the right technique you’ll be able to do it. Unfortunately, if you’ve not done any parking since your driving lessons you may have forgotten how to drive into that busy space in Bournemouth triangle with a queue of traffic behind.

We can teach you the techniques and reference points your instructor used during your driving lessons to enable you to park with confidence wherever you are.

Help your children learn to drive:

You can save a significant amount of money by giving your own children driving lessons. However, the more we drive the lazier we get. There’s no point of helping your child learn to drive if you’re passing on bad habits.

Get the knowledge needed from an approved driving instructor before you embark on this. Things like tailgating in slow traffic driving down Bournemouth Road, not checking mirrors and signalling correctly and crossing hands on the wheel can lead to driving test failure.

If you’re going to do it, do it right!

Driving Re-Test:

Amongst other factors, there’s two things in life we can’t control. We all get old and we all make mistakes. The DVSA sometimes requires those drivers of a certain ‘maturity’ or previously banned drivers to take a driving retest.

Now, I’m no spring chicken and have made plenty of mistakes so if you need refresher driving lessons to bring you back up to the required standard we will do some in a non-judgemental and open minded manner.

International Driving License Holders/EU drivers:

Si, pero puedo conducir en Espana… And you can drive around Bournemouth too, don’t worry.

If you hold the correct driving license and are worried about driving on the ‘right’ side of the road then one of our driving instructors will ease you in and help you feel more confident.

We’ll go through all of the tricky stuff like roundabouts, entering slip roads and turning at traffic lights.

Let’s see if you you choose the right door.

Nervous driver:

Perhaps you’re a relatively new driver or haven’t been behind the wheel for a while. You may not have driven in the dark yet so won’t dare cross Cemetery Junction.

You may have driven around Bournemouth your whole life, but had a crash or incident and lost your confidence.

Maybe you get nervous driving on dual carriageways or motorways and would like to gain more competence.

Whatever it is, we can help to put you at ease. Just tell us what you’re nervous about and we can tailor your refresher driving lessons around this, at your own pace and over as many hours as you’d like. I’ve been doing this for over 35 years and I’ve seen it all. Nothing is too little or daft.

We’ll get there.

You’ve recently arrived in Bournemouth and don’t know the area:

No idea how to get to Southbourne? Haven’t navigated Winton high street? Not sure how you get from your house in Charminster to your work place in Northbourne?

Taking refresher driving lessons in Bournemouth will familiarise you with the local area and what you may encounter on the roads.

Drive more economically:

Driving costs a fortune these days and the way you drive can directly impact how much you spend on petrol.

Eco driving is now part of the driving test and during the test there may be questions on this. You may have picked up bad habits or are spending too much on fuel, so a refresher driving lesson could be the solution. For example, if you’re stuck in traffic on the Bournemouth spur road it’s not the best idea to speed up, brake heavily, stop and repeat.

Let us give you some hints on how to drive to save money, while saving the environment and paying the government less tax on fuel duty. WIN WIN WIN!

Your new employer wants to assess your driving:

Often with new jobs involving driving, your prospective employer will want to assess your driving ability to make sure you are suitable for the role. After all, wouldn’t you want to ensure your employees were driving your fleet properly?

Refresher driving lessons will help you remove bad habits and ensure you land the role you deserve.
