The Police refer drivers to the National Driver
Improvement Scheme when they consider they have enough evidence to
prosecute them in relation to a road traffic incident. The aim of
the Scheme is to rectify problems rather than punish people.
Referral to the Scheme may be of more benefit than being placed
before a court.
It is a course designed by professionals to improve driver
safety. The course is not a driving test but you can fail it.
You will need to be aware of the content of the current Highway
Code.
The Kent training centre is in Maidstone. When you come along
you need to bring your driving licence. You will fail the course if
you do not bring it. If you have a new photocard licence you must
bring both the card and the paper parts. If you do not have a
photocard licence you be required to bring an additional form of
identification, for example, your passport.
You will be provided with a fully insured modern car for the
practical driving sessions. If, however, you have special needs and
your own car is adapted for those needs, it can be used after
approval by the Service Provider. If you had your incident on a
motorbike, the practical part of the course is taken on your own
motorbike.
The current fee for the course in Kent is £190, which is not
refundable.
