Advanced Driving Package

"I contacted Hornby Driver Training in the wake of receiving a court summons for a speeding offence, after my lawer suggested I take an Advanced Driving Course to show I had improved my road awareness.  The course was convenient, comprehensive and really helped me to become more safety-aware, as well as teaching me to become a more efficient driver.  John could have not been more helpful, informative and easy-going throughout the course, and has made me think more carefully about how I drive."  (Lisa T - Advanced Pupil 2008)
