National Speed Awareness Course

The course aims to make the roads safer by helping people to drive at a safe speed within the speed limit. The course is designed to take people on a journey that shows them how to identify the speed limits, how to recognise and resist pressure to speed from themselves and others and how to avoid distractions.

There is a mix of information, discussion and reflection and people leave with personalised tips to help them to avoid speeding in the future.

Course duration is 3 hours.
