What people think about the course
"Everyone who attended was made very welcome and at ease as we discussed a wide range of driving topics. Driving with a trainer turned out to be a very positive, encouraging and transformational experience. It felt like 'switching on' again - just what I needed. I am really grateful to the trainer who managed to give me so much in the time we had together and I encourage anyone who has been driving for years to sign up"
Brian, Ashton-on-Mersey
"My wife and I attended one of these courses earlier this year and found it covered a range of possible hazards faced by older drivers. At no time did we feel pressured and the whole experience was relaxed but informative. At the end of the course we both felt reassured regarding our driving ability and we enjoyed every aspect of the course."
Ian, Prestwich
