Refresh Yourself On The Basics

Do you ever feel tense or intimidated when driving?  We all develop our own driving style and bad habits over time. Many of us would fail our Driving Test if we re-took it today. Driving safely and competently actually saves you money by avoiding wear and tear on the car which bad driving brings. Whether its re-learning safe driving principles or just generally increasing your confidence in driving, Refresher Courses have helped so many people throughout our time here at Britannia Driving School. All Refresher Courses are designed on an individual basis after assessment by a professional instructor.

Get back to the days when you actually got a buzz from driving!

Stay Clear of Danger

Learning to drive requires learning multiple practical and theory based skills. The Hazard Perception test forms the second section of the theory test. This test must be passed at the same time as the multiple choice part. You will be presented with a series of video clips which feature every day road scenes.

Remember to look out for potential, developing, or actual hazards, such as – hidden junctions and turns, broken down vehicles and road works, pedestrians crossing the road, or parked vehicles.

Have a look for yourself with our Hazard Perception Test Video. Other ways that might help improve looking out for hazards is to watch others driving. Keeping you eyes open while in the passenger seat can help improve your perception skills.

Worried About Being A Non UK Driver?

If you have never driven in Britain before, it is a good idea to take a refresher driving course with us to familiarise yourself with the road systems and traffic signs. Have a look at our lessons and prices.

Subject to certain conditions, you can drive in the UK for 12 months with a valid driving licence issued in another country, and age requirement of 17 years.

Here is a customer’s comment:

“I did not feel confident driving on the left hand side of the road when I first came to the UK from Hungary. Motorway driving and roundabouts were bewildering. I took a course of lessons with Britannia Driving School to gain confidence and experience in a dual-controlled car. The driving went a long way to make my driving in the UK more confident and enjoyable.” Mrs G C Kajel.

Tips You Need To Know – Eco Driving

Would you consider buying an ‘eco friendly’ vehicle? Eco driving is becoming more and more popular as research in the UK has shown that eco driving can save between 5 and 17 percent of fuel – and also cut emissions.

In a eco friendly car, you keep the CO2 emissions down and positively, with eco driving, you’re not creating unnecessary pollution. A few tips for eco driving:

-Use the air conditioning sparingly.

-When you start the engine, don’t keep it idling to heat up the engine. This wastes fuel and should not be necessary if you drive off gently and smoothly.

-Most effective way of eco driving: consider car-sharing for some journeys.

Britannia Driving Schools instructors are fully trained and experienced in safe eco driving so as us any questions. If you care about the environment and your car you should definitely have a think about changing.

There is nothing worse than not getting along with your driving instructor especially if you’re stressed, trying your hardest and they don’t seem to not be bothered. With Britannia you will have a strong relationship with your instructor as we want whats best for you.

Communication is a key part of your learning process as it can resolve any issues that you have – Speak to your driving instructor, they can help you and spend more time with you. Maybe, you could talk about what you did on the weekend or ask them what music they enjoy just to break the ice.

Maybe having lessons with an instructor monthly isn’t for you – Have a look at our intensive course, where you can pass in only 1 week.

Relax, we’re here to help and want to engage you so that we can help your driving skills and confidence improve further.
