Pre-court driver improvement course
Xcel Driver Training offer pre-court driver improvement courses for private individuals across the UK, with our training based in the Midlands. We are often approached by individuals that have been advised by their solicitor or barrister, or sometimes their insurance company, to take a pre-court advanced driving course or a pre-court defensive driving course. Our driver improvement course is delivered bespoke to your requirements, and covers aspects of advanced driving, defensive driving, and speed awareness.
Taking a driver improvement course can help demonstrate that you are keen to improve your standard of driving. We would never claim a pre-court advanced / defensive course would always influence a court conviction. However, taking a course and showing genuine motivation to become a safer driver while recognising your shortcomings in your driving past could be seen in a positive light.
Speed awareness
If you are facing court proceedings for a speeding offence we can tailor the driver improvement course to focus more on speed awareness.
Court preparation reports
Our expert trainers are here to help you. We can quickly arrange a course, often before your hearing date, and then provide you with a full report in pdf format, which indicates you have had expert tuition with a DVSA Fleet registered trainer (Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency).
Furthermore, we also have access to several specialist solicitors and barristers we can recommend to represent you in court if you do not already have legal representation.
Questions & Answers
We are based centrally in the Midlands and our clients travel to us.
If you plead guilty or are convicted of a speeding offence you will get a fine and points on your licence unless you successfully argue there are ‘special reasons’ not to endorse your licence and the court decide not to impose a fine. However doing an appropriate course may help you get a more favourable sentence.
We will spend half a day minimum with you in your vehicle or one of ours. We will assess you while you drive on all types of roads with different speed limits and advise you on speed awareness.
Subject to your manner of driving our report may help the court in deciding whether or not the offence was out of character.
We will aim to get you booked in for training as soon as we can.
