Advanced Driving

Advanced Driving

At G&M Driving Centre we teach advanced driving we only teach to the DSA syllabus. This is sometimes called the Diamond Advanced Test and due to the fact that it is of driving instructor standard we believe this is the highest standard available. When working with our clients we will inform them in advance what is required and make sure they are trained to the highest possible standard.

Does your driving meet the advanced test?

What makes an advanced driver? Well, an advanced driver is someone who always puts their vehicle in the correct place on the road, travelling in the correct gear at the correct speed. Easier said than done in today's traffic conditions, but with the right training most people could become better and safer drivers. But why bother?

Your driving should be...

• Safe - Safety is paramount, and nothing must be allowed to compromise it. Good observations will enable you to identify hazards well in advance. This, coupled with a good knowledge of traffic situations, allows you to stay out of danger at all times.
• Smooth - A good driver uses all the controls smoothly. There should be no jerk when the vehicle stops, gear changes should be imperceptible, and all steering movements precise and controlled. Passenger comfort is the key. Nothing should look or feel hurried.
• Systematic - Systematic approach to driving is very important. The systematic driver does not miss out vital checks and knows how to approach new situations. The IAM use the Police System of Vehicle Control.
• Progressive - Progressive driving is not simply driving fast! A progressive driver uses speed where it is safe to do so, but progressive driving is much more than this. Good observations enable the driver to avoid hold-ups, to always be in the correct lane at the correct time, and to minimise delays throughout.
