Eco-Driving with Drive Smart
Have you been watching wayward drivers learn how to be safer and more fuel-efficient on Channel 5's 'Dangerous Drivers' School'? If you are already a qualified driver who would like refresher training in driving safety, and you'd like to save money by improving fuel efficiency, have a look at our Drive Smart initiative. And if you qualify as an 'at risk' driver, you might be eligible to take one of the 2,000 free courses available through the AA Charitable Trust.
How Drive Smart works
Drive Smart is open to any qualified driver, and consists of a minimum of two hours in-car lessons and instructor guidance and feedback, plus study with an accompanying Drive Smart workbook.
- First book your first hour lesson at least a week in advance.
- Complete your pre-lesson workbook exercises to help you during your first lesson.
- Take the first in-car lesson with your instructor.
- Practice the techniques you've learned from the workbook exercises and the first lesson.
- Take your second in-car lesson, using the techniques you've learned.
- Book more Drive Smart lessons if you think you can benefit.
