Driving on Country Roads

Course overview

Why should you take it?

If you’re used to driving in town, you’ll know that country roads are different. You can never be sure what you’re going to find around the next corner.

Rural roads may be quieter but that can lull drivers into a false sense of security. Potential dangers like blind bends, concealed entrances, surface water on the road, tractors and herds of sheep always seem to appear when you’re least expecting them.

What’s more, speed limits may be higher than you’re used to, so if you are involved in a collision, the outcome may be more serious.

Our one-to-one expert coaching will give you the confidence to handle all these different challenges, helping to keep you and your family safe when you’re out of your comfort zone.

What can you expect?

The session can be conducted at the time and the place that suits you best. Before you set off, your friendly guide will explain what you’ll be covering during the 75-minute session. If there’s something specific you’d like help with, simply let our expert know and they’ll be delighted to include that in your training.

You’ll then head for the countryside for practical learning in your own car. As well as providing general advice on rural driving, our expert will observe you behind the wheel and let you know if any improvements could be made.

By the end of the session, you’ll have picked up new skills and knowledge to make you a more confident and capable driver when you’re out in the country. And, depending on the weather, you may need to wash the car!
