Driver Awareness Training, Page 9 Reviews

Lots of figures to write down just incase. Truly boring and drags on for ages.

It is like the other training courses,,, a little bit too long

No summary provided

Serious issue with some instruction. Pulling to the left when being overtaken is bad practice. In order to do this with any effectiveness (due to the speed of overtaking) you would not have sufficient time to check for cyclists / bikes to your left putting them in danger. Additionally as this isn't common practice the "overtaker" may misconstrue as you pulling over (to park or stop) and come back into your lane thus trapping you on the side / ditch. Not happy with this instruction as in actual practice is definitely not the right thing to do.

I found the course was so basic that although its all common sense, to sit through this for an hour and really believe this is going to make me a better driver, I am sorry, I just believe this is a box ticking exercise for the company's that run this.

It makes you think about complacency around your day to day driving technique. Was easy to follow and will benefit me in my travelling.

The course should focus more on good driving practices, such as "Defensive Driving" rather that the regurgitation of facts and figures. You do not become a good driver learning by rote or reading policy documents.

I learned a few things that I did not know, but thought the course was more geared towards general driving jobs and not the job that I do on a day to day basis.

I don't think that knowing percentages will make you a safer driver. In the video's early in the course it shows the driver drving with one hand with the other hand raised, surely both hands need to be on the wheel?
