Smarter Driving

Smarter Driving is a series of proven techniques which can help to reduce fuel consumption, make for safer driving on our congested roads and reduce carbon emissions.   Tried and tested over years across the world, these easy-to-learn techniques can benefit almost all drivers regardless of experience and can provide real cost savings in terms of fuel. The average amount saved is £250.

The training lasts for an hour and consists of 2 basic parts.   Following introductions, you will drive a pre-determined route in your normal driving style during which time the fuel consumption and average speed will be measured.   We will then chat a little about the principles of Smarter Driving and you will drive the same route again, this time being coached in those Smarter Driving principles.   Fuel consumption and average speed are again measured and compared to the initial results to see the savings you could make.

Probably, but if you're anything like me you will be skeptical about the benefits.   I know I was, until I actually saw it in action for real.

The course costs just £25, which should be easily covered by the savings you will make as a result.   Furthermore, as a show of my commitment to and belief in the principles taught, I will waive the fee for the course if you can better my fuel consumption over the same route that you drive.   When you have completed the training you will a certificate detailing your possible savings and Smarter Driver car sticker.

We all think our driving is good and don't like the idea of anyone watching what we are doing and judging it, me included.    Yes, I will be watching because I can't help if I don't.   No, I won't be judging it or you.    I'm not in the slightest bit interested if you cross your hands on the steering wheel or leave your hand on the gear lever.   It's really not important in the grand scheme of things.   I'm simply going to try to help you cut your fuel costs by following the Smarter Driving principles.

Nothing says you have to.   However, if you want to cut your fuel bills and be safer on the roads then you should think about it.   It really does work!
