DriveTech's one-day speed recognition course is designed for any driver that has accumulated six or more penalty points on their driving licence, as a result of repeatedly breaking the speed limit. It is aimed at educating drivers who are at risk of losing their licence through 'totting up' or being potentially convicted for excessive speeding at court. Some drivers use the final report as a practical demonstration of their intention to improve their driving, safety and avoid repeat offending.
Drivers break speed limits for a wide variety of different reasons. Our course aims to tackle the likely causes of speed by raising a driver's awareness of the associated dangers - both to themselves, their passengers and other road users - as well as the potential and real consequences of speeding. Drivers are far more likely to accept and conform to recommended limits if they understand the reasoning behind speed limits and how to identify and distinguish between the limits imposed on various roads types and different road vehicles.
The first part of the training includes an inter-active presentation and discussion with the driver. This covers such topics as visual, hazard & knowledge perception as well as assessing the driver's attitude and knowledge level. In addition, it looks at key risk areas associated with driving on today's roads and why excessive or inappropriate speed is a factor in more than 33% of all road collisions.
The second part of the course takes place behind the wheel - either in your own vehicle or we can provide one at additional cost. It includes an assessment drive to identify the driver's strengths and weaknesses. These characteristics, or driving habits, are then discussed and new techniques suggested complete with associated benefits. The trainer will then illustrate these advantages though a demonstration drive*, together with a commentary, showing and talking through the advantages and benefits of adopting a new approach. This session will also help identify the varying speed limits and key risk areas that the driver encounters. Again, the driver is given the opportunity to apply the new techniques with another period of on-road training tailored to achieve their personal, and the course, objectives.
At all times, the trainer will assess and suggest improvements to the driver's hazard and accident perception and offer practical and useful advice.
At the end of the final on-road session, the trainer will go through a thorough debrief of the day discussing what will be included in the final typed report and ensuring personal and course objectives were met. The driver will be asked to complete a Course Evaluation Questionnaire in order for DriveTech and the driver to monitor the effectiveness and quality of the course.
Each course attendee is sent a comprehensive typed report and certificate that can be 'fast tracked' for those drivers attending court.
