A big thank you to A! Clutch who got one of our cars back on the road almost immediatly!  They have done a fantastic job and we did not have to cancel any tests.  If fact the pupil with their test that day passed first time.

Another Event from Brake

This annual event holds the record for being the largest of its kind and we're hoping to make the 2010 event even bigger. Visit www.brake.org.uk/walkingbus for further information.

This article in the Daily Star says it all!  It is really important to check your instructor is licensed; anyone can get themselves a roof sign, some dual controls and pretend to be an instructor. 

There is no excuse to why an instructor would not display their licence as it is a £1000 fine if they don’t. Illegal instructors have either not passed their instructors test or simply never bothered; all licensed instructors will have been checked by the Criminal Records Bureau.

The Sussex Safer Roads Partnership has come up with a new way of getting people to belt up! 

I personally think this is a great thought provoking road safety advert which should be shown to all people learning to drive and well as experienced drivers who do not think it will happen to them.  The You Tube film is entitled Embrace Life and you can see it by clicking this link.  http://www.embracethis.co.uk/ 

Well done Sussex Safer Roads

We have now delivered the first two ‘Practical Coaching Skills for Driving Instructors’ workshops. 

Those that attended said they thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot.  They have since been keeping us informed with their progress and have been successfully applying their new skills.  Most importantly, their pupils have felt the benefit too!  Here’s a few of the comments we have received:

“A very enjoyable day albeit a long one for me driving from Uxbridge in west London.   I have started using some of the coaching techniques we all explored. I don’t know who is more pleased with the results, me or the pupil!!”

Bob – Uxbridge

“I really enjoyed your coaching workshop and have seen great results in pupil progress using these methods.  I am looking forward to enhancing my coaching skills through more practice & workshops with yourselves.”

Carl – Derby

“I went not really knowing what to expect, but I thought there are some parts of this I'm already doing.  How wrong was I?  The course made me see how easy my job would be if I followed a few simple steps, how enjoyable the lesson could be and how much the pupil would learn.  I tried these techniques the next day with 2 pupils, and wow! There were big differences in the way they understood more quickly.  I didn’t tell them I had been on a course.  But at the end of each lesson, they both said they couldn’t believe how easy it was and how much they got done.  I'm glad I went, it was money well spent!”

Barbara - Liverpool
