In December of 2014, work was done on the A11 to turn what starts from Thetford and ends in Midenhall, into a dual carriageway. Dual carriageways, can be tricky, especially when turning right onto the dual carriageway from an emerging side road. Considering the high use of the A11 road, this is definitely a skill that those living in and around Thetford will want to acquire .
During everybody’s driving tuition, being able to observe the flow, trained to note the speed of traffic, and even trying to be prepared for hazards, are all important skills to learn. That is why, apart from the driving lessons from Thetford, that you take to get you through your test, you may also choose to avail yourself of other driving courses that cover areas your lesson have not yet touched upon. After passing my own test and getting my own wheels, I myself took a motorway driving course.
At Mid-Norfolk driving tuition, we offer our Thetford based learners, driving courses to suit the diverse needs of that driver. The pass plus scheme is one of the courses we offer that includes various modules that will be covered during the course of the lesson plans. These pass plus driving courses are aimed at new drivers that have taken the courses necessary to meet the criteria for a pass on their standard driving test. One of the things covered in these driving courses is motorway and dual carriageway driving.
You may also wish to avail yourself of driving courses that cover all weather’s, so you can learn of the real differences between driving in dry and clear conditions to wet or even icy conditions. Which is a common occurrence in Britain, and therefore in Thetford as well. These different weather conditions don’t just effect your stopping times. It’s also about maintaining good control. You will find your hazard perception may not be as competent as usual, or it isn’t as easy to judge and forward plan when It’s foggy . These pass plus driving courses will help you be more prepared under these conditions. What if you want to learn, in Thetford, a particular tricky route you will be taking regularly as a qualified driver? These are the sort of driving courses and lessons we offer.
What about when you are learning how to drive a new car? You may only be used to driving your instructors car. These driving courses may be able help you here as well. All of these driving courses are available, not only to make you a safer driver, but to give you added confidence and ability needed, and to have and maintain a level that this life skill demands. Confidence can make a big difference to your driving ability, but that confidence will be of most benefit when it is well founded on well tried and tested driving courses.
As it says on the welcome sign outside the town of Thetford: ‘please drive carefully’.
