Renowned high performance driving coach, Hugh Noblett – Director of Training and founder of Cadence Driver Development appeared a recent edition of the BBC TV "Real Story with Fiona Bruce" current affairs programme.  You can see the video by clicking here.

Three recently qualified new drivers were under Hugh’s watchful eye, gaining vital skills, which many critics feel are lacking in our current practical driving test. Recent reports have identified that our new drivers consider they are being let down by the focus of the test. Rather than performing basic manoeuvring techniques they want to see a far more stretching test of their ability to safely deal with real-life situations.

In my opinion, it’s astonishing that a memory test, a bit of a video game and a forty-minute practical is all that is required to ‘prove’ you are a knowledgeable, careful and competent driver and thus be granted a licence, which lasts for the next 50-odd years.

Author Stephen Haley wrote the book “Mind Driving” as a direct result of the frustrations of being unable to articulate to his children exactly what constituted ‘good driving’.

“Mind Driving” is an exciting new driver manual with an innovative approach to the mental process behind expert driving.
