THE Isle of Wight Council’s road safety unit is running another of its popular six-week theory and practical combined better driving courses.
The scheme is designed to improve driving standards of people of all ages and levels of experience.
The course aims to help drivers become more confident, skilful and, most importantly, safer, minimising the risk of a collision.
A whole range of skills and techniques will be covered including car control, road positioning, cornering and bends, speed and safety and overtaking.
In just six weeks, drivers will be given the opportunity to learn everything from predicting the road ahead to having the right driving attitude to be safer on the road.
The next course begins at Enterprise House, Newport, on Monday between 7.30pm and 9.30pm and will continue at the same time each week for the next five weeks.
The course is run by road safety professionals and costs £25 including an assessment drive.
