Advanced

For drivers who wish to progress in their driving skills the Driving Academy offers courses in Advanced Motoring and can instruct and prepare you for your test in any of the following organisations:

DIAmond Advanced Motorists

The DIAmond Advanced Motorist Test is the only advanced test in the UK available to the general public that uses the Government's Driving Standards Agency's test marking system.

The current L-test allows candidates to make up to 15 minor driving faults over a route which is often shorter than six miles, and takes 40 minutes or less.

The Diamond Advanced Test allows a maximum of six minor faults in an hour's driving over a wide variety of road types and conditions.

Candidates are expected to demonstrate progressive driving skills throughout, at a much higher level of competence than the L-test. Training includes driving at night, on motorways and in adverse weather conditions and your instructor will be asked to confirm the required level of experience in these areas before you take the Advanced Test.

Too many people are being killed or seriously injured on our roads each and every year and it is well known that the majority of accidents are caused by Driver Error. Educate the driver into a better way of driving and the accident rate will fall.
