Driving on motorways can be daunting for new drivers but with Focus Driving’s motorway training you can gain the confidence and understanding you need to drive safely and successfully.

While motorways are faster and everyone seems to drive ‘differently’, motorways are actually statistically safer than other roads in relation to the number of accidents occurring. However, motorway accidents occur at higher speeds and usually involve more vehicles. This results in incidents that are usually more serious, with worse injuries for those involved.
