Driver Assessment & Coaching

One‑on‑one, real‑world coaching to assess and improve driver competence.

Overview

Murcotts provides specialised one‑on‑one driver assessment and coaching in normal traffic conditions — the most accurate way to evaluate real‑world driving behaviour. This program is ideal for drivers needing personalised support or formal assessment, including:

·       Drivers with special needs or disabilities

·       Individuals rebuilding confidence after a road trauma

·       Older drivers maintaining licence currency

·       Drivers with identified risk behaviours (including court‑referred)

·       Pre‑employment driver assessments

·       Remedial coaching for employees who drive for work

 

Where appropriate, sessions may include a BAAMS® Driver Profile, and specialist counselling can be arranged if required.

How It Works

An experienced Murcotts instructor accompanies the driver in their own vehicle, observing performance, identifying risks and providing targeted coaching.

Each two‑hour session includes:

·       30 minutes assessing current driving behaviours

·       90 minutes of coaching focused on correct technique and defensive strategies

 

Because training occurs in real traffic, it reveals genuine habits, decision‑making patterns and risk tendencies. A confidential written report is provided at completion.

What We Assess

Depending on the driver’s needs, the session may cover:

·       Defensive and protective driving

·       Road law understanding

·       Traffic awareness and hazard detection

·       Gear use, braking technique and lane positioning

·       Signals, mirrors, fluency and smoothness

·       Vehicle sympathy and responsibility

·       Attitude, self‑awareness and interaction with other road users

·       Risk‑taking behaviours

·       Wet‑weather, night, gravel‑road and highway driving

·       Reversing, towing and vehicle familiarisation

 

This comprehensive approach provides a clear picture of capability and improvement areas.
