Whilst none of the advanced driving options offered on these pages have to be completed in any particular order, the Ride Drive Half-Day Advanced Driving Experience does represent a sound introduction to the techniques that will help you to get more out of driving on the public road.
The Half-Day Ride Drive Advanced Driving Experience is a 4-hour programme that can be completed within your home area and takes place on the public road with you driving your own car. it is a totally one-to-one period of personal skills development carried out under the advice and direction of one of our highly trained advanced driving specialists.
You will experience an advanced system of car control that may differ to your current driving style, all features of which centre around control and vehicle stability factors.
Whether you want to make your first step into the realms of developing your skills to an advanced level, or wish to top up your existing skills by using this programme as a refresher session, or even if you just want to dip your toe in the water to see what Ride Drive is all about, this option will certainly provide excellent value both in terms of cost and benefit. However, if at the end of the session you feel you should have opted for the full day programme (S02PM), then no need to worry, as we will happily book you in for another half-day at no additional overall cost than if you had chosen the full day to begin with.
This isn’t about driving everywhere at high speed, but more about producing a smooth and flowing drive where you may cover the distance efficiently by using accuracy and the intelligent interpretation of your road environment to make unobtrusive progress. Whilst remaining safe and in control at all times, this is about you gaining a better understanding of your car and how to use it effectively on the road and to enhance your skills to improve your overall personal performance as an advanced driver.
Unlike many organisations we are not in the game of looking for square pegs to go into square holes, as we will happily take on people of all shapes and sizes, who have all different levels of expectation and existing ability. Basically, whilst certain factors will always need to be included, we will always build whatever elements you want to cover into the session so that you will always get the best out of your involvement with us.
