Course overview

This course is designed to make motorways (and, in particular, managed motorways) safer, more efficient and a better experience for people who use and work on them. Its objectives are to increase your:

  • understanding of how to read and safely use motorways and, in particular, managed motorways.
  • understanding of how and why variable speed limits and lane closures are imposed.
  • awareness of the negative consequences for self and others of breaking the rules on motorways – and the benefits of complying.
  • recognition of your own personal vulnerability to these consequences.
  • awareness of how rule-breaking behaviour on motorways is seen and judged negatively by other road users.
  • concentration and observation while using motorways.
  • ability to maintain a safe space while using motorways.

We will not allow you to join a course if you:

  • are late.
  • are unable to show the trainer your valid photocard driving licence (or paper licence supported by an acceptable photographic ID).
  • bring an interpreter (if required) not named on your booking (or they do not have an acceptable photographic ID).

You must read our NDORS terms and conditions for full details, including cancellation and rebooking fees.
