Safe Driving For Life

Driving Instructors who pass their test can be able to produce a standard of driving and teaching that fits the ethos of safe driving for life, this will include educating learner drivers in both the theory and practical aspects of safe driving, which will also include environmental issues and information on how to reduce road congestion. Driving Instructors will also be encouraged to further their driving education by encouraging learner drivers as well as themselves to a view that driving is life long learning and does not stop the day they passed their driving test.
