Safe Urban, Rural and Motorway Driving also highlights the challenges posed by increasing numbers of vulnerable road users and raises awareness of new road designs and updated regulations around sharing the road. Our experienced driver trainers fully engage with participants to maximise the learning experience and draw out their views and opinions.
