Refresher Lessons
A Refresher Driving lesson will improve skills such as better awareness, better eco-driving skills, improved anticipation and more advanced forward planning skills.
The Spot On Driving Refresher Course has been designed to give all drivers additional skills, hazard awareness and confidence as well as assist in encouraging elderly drivers to stay mobile for longer.

Your Lesson
On the day of your Refresher Lesson your driving licence and your eyesight will be checked, prior to you starting to drive.
(You must be able to read a number plate from a distance of 20.5 metres. If you need glasses or contact lenses to see this far, you must wear them every time you drive)
Lessons are 1.5 hours duration. You may choose to have 2 lessons consecutively, if so a sufficient rest break will be planned.
Hopefully, you will already have discussed with your instructor your particular requirements. These will be confirmed to ensure you still feel the same way and to ascertain how you feel about your lesson.
Your drive will then last for approximately 1 hour 10 minutes.
You will be given constant constructive feedback in order to attempt to improve some skills during the lesson.
When necessary, you will be asked to pull up to discuss your driving so far.
At the end of the lesson you will be given verbal feedback.
A Driving Feedback Report will be emailed to you within 1 week of completing your lesson/s. The report will include details of what was covered in the lesson, any areas for continued improvement, and any advice that may help you in your future driving.
