Dorset Driver Courses designed to refresh and update your
driving skills
By popular demand, more Dorset Driver courses have been
organised by Dorset County Council. They
can now be booked online, making it even easier to improve your road knowledge
and hazard awareness.
Bookings are now been taken but places are filling up quickly.
These very popular courses, which take place locally within
a friendly environment, are presented by experienced road safety professionals.
The
two-hour theory sessions, which cost just £5 per person, are designed to
help drivers of all ages deal with a wide range of driving conditions and
address the most common causes of crashes in Dorset – poor hazard perception,
failing to judge another vehicle's speed correctly and loss of control. Topics include refreshing your Highway Code
knowledge, modern
driving techniques and how to drive safely in adverse
conditions.
Drivers are given essential advice and tips on how to stay
safe by improving observation, avoiding distractions and how to keep a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
Driving on motorways and dual carriageways is covered in the
presentation, as well as the correct procedure for negotiating roundabouts.
The dates and locations of upcoming Dorset Driver courses
are :
Monday 11th
June 10 am Upton Country House Poole
Friday 22nd
June 10 am County Hall Dorchester
