Better Driving

Research shows that driver error is the main cause of road traffic accidents.

No matter what driving experience you have, bad driving habits easily develop, often without you realising it. If allowed to develop, these habits could, in certain situations, become dangerous.



Why not come and join our experts and share in their motoring and driving knowledge by enrolling on a Better Driving Course?



The Isle of Wight Council’s Road Safety Team runs a 6-week theory and practical combined course, designed to improve your driving standards. The course aims to help drivers become more confident, skillful and most importantly safer, minimising the risk of a collision involving yourself.


The next course will start in Newport on Tuesday 2 March and continue every Thursday evening (7.30pm – 9.30pm) for the following 5 weeks

For only £25, drivers will be given the opportunity to learn everything from predicting the road ahead to having the right driving attitude to make sure you are safer on the road.
