We all recognise that transport is an essential part of our lives and most of us also recognise that the environmental consequences of driving are immense. The emissions produced by vehicles cause damage to the environment.

 

Those of us who drive can also help by amending our driving style to one that uses less fuel, and as a result produces less polluting chemicals.

And of course the less fuel we use the more money we can save ourselves! 

Our Eco-Safe Driving Course introduces the principles of Eco-safe driving to those who took their tests prior to the DSA introducing the concept to driving instructors and its inclusion in the practical driving test.

During the course we cover the following areas of driving which have been adapted with Eco-Safe driving in mind and are included in the revised style of driving now being taught:-  

• Enhanced hazard perception and awareness skills 
• Selective use of gears 
• Progressive use of accelerator 
• Compliance with speed limits 
• Utilisation of engine braking/torque 
• Use of cruise control
•  Parking
•  Carrying unnecessary weight 
•  Journey planning 

'Driving - the essential skills' has an entire chapter on Eco-safe driving.

You may already use some of the techniques when you are driving, but its a proven fact that even the most experienced driver can benefit from further development.  

If you adapt your driving to include these changes you will become a more environmentally friendly, economically aware driver and may enjoy your journeys more as they become less stressful and more comfortable.
