A new qualification in driving science developed by alpha to omega motoring ltd has been passed by James Jefferies, 17, a sixth former at Leeds Grammar School. The qualification is taught in parallel to existing driving lessons and makes use of interactive software which enables the learner to engage in life-saving driving skills from their home computer.
Research has shown that this training improved the learners attitude towards risk, such as tailgating, overtaking and speeding. It has also shown that this method improved hand eye coordination and drivers’ eye movement patterns – which will help with hazard perception skills (a part of the current driving theory test).
