This covers the important parts of driving at night, dawn and dusk. You'll learn about:

Driving on dual carriageways

Dual carriageways are high speed roads where the two carriageways are separated by a central reservation. You'll need to have particular skills, including:

• effective observation, using your mirrors and checking blind spots
• judgement and planning ahead
• separation distances
• joining and leaving a dual carriageway
• overtaking and lane discipline
• the correct use of speed

Driving on motorways

This should be a practical session if possible. If there is no motorway nearby, it will be covered in a theory session.You should drive on a motorway as soon as you can afterwards so you can put the theory into practice.

The topics covered include:

• journey planning
• joining and leaving a motorway, and using slip roads
• safe speeds in different circumstances
• effective observation
• signs, signals and markings
• overtaking and lane discipline
• courtesy to other road users
• motorway fatigue
• breakdown procedures
• use of lights, including hazard warning lights 
• debris on the carriageway
• crosswinds

All the modules have strong links with each other and are usually both combined and overlapped in order to have the greatest benefit. Once you have completed a minimum of 1 hour on each subject (further training is occassionally necessary in order to achieve the required standard) you will be awarded a certificate which entitles you to up to 30% discount on your first years insurance.*  This potential saving can far outweigh the cost of the course itself and will provide a great head start on your driving career.....and remember, best of all, THERE'S NO TEST!!
