On Road Driver Coaching
Course Overview
This one-to-one driver coaching is designed to determine the driver’s risk areas for the category of vehicle they drive. An initial assessment to identify gaps and set goals will be followed by a bite-sized practical session to optimise and reinforce key training objectives.
The driver will be coached to overcome barriers, apply eco-driving techniques and focus on relapse prevention.
Focus on observation, anticipation and concentration.
