One-on-one coaching and assessment in normal on-road traffic conditions is an important service provided by Murcotts. It is the most useful activity for assessing driver competence particularly for accredited training purposes.

Personal driver training of this type is ideal for drivers with special needs such as the disabled, drivers who have lost confidence following a road trauma experience, older drivers who wish to maintain their licence currency and for drivers with identified risk behaviours associated with their driving such as those referred by courts.

For employers, this service is especially useful for pre-employment driver assessment or as a remedial measure for all employees who are required to drive in their work. It may be accompanied by a BAAMS® Driver Profile assessment and specialist counselling is offered to some drivers who have particular psychological needs.

The methodology involves our instructor in car with the driver observing, providing feedback and coaching for correction of errors.

This program comprises approximately 30 minutes for evaluation of the driving systems and the remaining 90 minutes working on correct driving techniques and defensive/protective systems.

A confidential comprehensive written report is prepared on completion and forwarded to the driver and/or the company. This program (and report) may cover the following elements:
