Fleet and Vocational

Do you drive as part of your work, or employ people who do? New legislation gives employers a duty to ensure that their employees have a good standard of driving. This can be assured by on the road risk assessments. Our sister operation Sussex Driver Training is ready to help with a fully DSA accredited Fleet Driver Trainer.



Auto To Manual

If you have only ever driven automatics, but now want to drive a manual car, you’ll need to take the practical driving test again. That extra pedal can be tricky too so you'll need professional help.



Simple Maintenance & Mechanical Safety

Can you change a wheel? Would you know how to recognise an imminent engine failure? What would you do if the brakes failed? Can you check the oil correctly? If you can’t answer these questions then a short course could prevent a simple problem becoming a complete nightmare for you.



Refresher Courses

Have you given up driving for a while but now want to get back on the road? Cars have got bigger and faster whilst traffic density has increased, and roads have become more complex. So if it seems daunting why not have few hours with your want2PASS Advanced Driving Instructor. Subject to a safety assessment this can be done in your own car if you prefer.



Motorway Driving

Some people are scared of going on the motorways or, if only recently passed their test, may have no relevant experience. A 2-hour session with your want2PASS instructor will give you the confidence and know how, to stay out of trouble and enjoy using the motorway.



Parking Technique

Have you noticed how some people seem to be able to park in a few seconds; whilst others spend ages fiddling about and even give up when there was enough space? If the latter sounds like you, then want2PASS can save you hours of frustration by giving you a few easy tips and supervised practice. How useful is that in our congested cities?



Advanced Driving

Most of us take the L test and then never have any other training throughout our lives. Given that the roads get more busy every year, whilst cars get faster and bigger, it is not surprising that ON AVERAGE drivers now crash every 70,000 miles - that could be every year for someone on the road all day. Over 90% of crashes are attributed to driver error, so it is important for drivers to learn the reasons why car accidents happen so frequently and take steps to avoid them. A short session with an instructor could give you a few vital tips that might save you from a future catastrophe.
