Intensive Driving Courses Reading – Various road Systems

The driving test route from Reading driving test centre will involve various road systems. The busy town roads will have several roundabouts ranging from mini roundabouts to large multilane roundabouts. You should also expect a deal with crossroads and one-way roads. It is very important that you watch the road signs and road markings as many learner drivers have been known to fail due to the positioning at the end of the one-way road.

Intensive Driving Courses Reading – Residential Roads

Quiet residential roads will often form part of the driving test. Often these residential roads will be narrow with stationary vehicles. The driving examiner will expect you to plan ahead and be prepared to give way to oncoming vehicles. The first sight of the oncoming vehicle, you get the rear-view mirror and ease off the accelerator. This will give you time to think and decide whether you need to stop and give way or to continue.

Intensive Driving Courses Reading – Dual Carriageways

The driving examiner will also take you on to some fast flowing A roads the A33 dual carriageway. When merging onto a dual carriageway it is vital that you adjust your speed to match that with the traffic on the main road. Once on the dual carriageway, you are expected to maintain your position in the left-hand lane unless you are either turning right or overtaking. If you do come across a slow-moving vehicle, the driving examiner will expect you to make progress and overtake. However, is remember that you must left-hand lane at the first safe opportunity.

Well, we are going to take a look at the pros and cons of taking an intensive driving course as opposed to a more traditional weekly lessons approach. If you are on two minds regarding taking a crash course, then – after reading this – hopefully – you have a better understanding on this topic that allows you to make the correct choice for yourself as an individual. You will be learning at a tremendously quick pace (most intensive driving courses are seven to ten days long). You will not forget anything that you learned from previous Crash Course lessons, because that information will be taught very recently.

You can get through it in just a couple of hours. You could potentially save money, since there are less classes. Along with the fact that some driving schools will discount your intensive driving lessons, since you are buying them in bulk.

Driving crash courses are going to have higher passing rates. According to uDrive, the pass rate for second-time drivers — when taught via Intensive Driver Training — is a mind-boggling 88%. The nationwide average is 47% according to DVSA.

This is the most widely known village of Berkshire – this is mainly thanks to the thousands of servicemen who have passed through ‘The Garrison’. A major part of the camp lies in the neighbouring village of Barkham.

For a number of years, the regular bus service has been stopped throughout the village but there is a social bus which takes passengers from Ashampstead and neighbouring villages to Reading and home again on Friday afternoons.

Basildon is about 8 miles northwest of Reading and is situated in wooded rolling country above Thames Valley. The village today consists of about five hundred houses, some old and many relatively new.

The original village which was known as Broad Field, with church mill and monrial Bradfield Place, stands around the Pang chal stream and it is noted for its Blue Pool which is a mile or so up the stream.
