EDT

The Essential Driver Training (EDT) programme is designed to

• Help prepare you for the practical driving test
• Cover some of the most important skills and behaviours that a learner driver must have
• Guide your progress

The EDT programme focuses on the driving behaviours that research shows contribute most to collision and injuries. The EDT works with the driver to improve their knowledge, understanding, and behaviour. It is designed to avoid high risk of harm to the learner driver and other road users by checking and, if necessary, correcting the drivers:

• Habits
• Attitudes
• Skills

Each Lesson should be covered in one hour. Your ADI should choose a route for your lesson that gives you the most opportunity to have relevant practice and demonstration. At the end of each lesson you should have achieved certain outcomes. These are statement that will either be :

• Accurate descriptions of your competence at the end of a lesson
• Can be used by your ADI as reference points for advice to you about the areas of your driving where you need more practice and what you should focus on.
