If you have been involved in a road traffic collision or any other incident while driving, this can leave lasting trauma and emotional scars which do not always fade away with time. This can lead to anxiety that can feel as overwhelming as the collision or incident itself.

 

You are not alone but so many people silently carry this burden, feeling isolated and misunderstood. We understand that when you get behind the wheel of a vehicle it can stir up emotions of panic and dread. This is very real and not everyone sees the distress and pain you are suffering.

 

Our goal at TFD Training is to rebuild your confidence, to give you a sense of safety by helping you at your own pace.

 

Our trainers are here to listen, understand and give reassurance to help you return to driving with that added confidence to deal with your apprehensions.

 

This is done by discussing how the incident happened, whether at fault or not, along with the drivers skills to create a plan to reduce the overall risk of the incident happening again. This in turn will support a drivers peace of mind when they are behind the wheel of their vehicles.

 

From a driver’s perspective this course is ideal if:

 

• Confidence has been lost.

​​

• Discussing the incident with a professional to overcome any negative attitude or loss of confidence from the incident.

​​

• Mitigate any fears of driving, such as passing the scene of the incident, travelling on motorways, negotiating roundabouts or any other situation.

 

Post Collision Workshop Content

 

Each workshop is tailored to the individual driver whether it was a serious or minor collision and here are some of the key areas covered:

 

• A conversation with the driver about the collision or incident and a visit to the scene if appropriate.

​​

• Working on the areas that may have contributed to the collision or incident.

​​

• Working with the driver to create a plan to prevent a reoccurrence.

​​

• Address areas that the driver finds most anger or anxiety provoking.

​​

• Developing a positive attitude to help regain confidence.

​​

• Reinforcing the skills for safer driving.

 

These is some of the areas that might be covered as there are no off the peg workshops to cover every incident.

 

This is not just a driving workshop as the trainer will explore the human factors of the driver by asking insightful questions such as:

 

• How do you rate your driving.

​​

• Are you a confident or nervous driver.

​​

• Is your driving style ‘reactive’ or ‘proactive’.

​​

• What motivated you to do the training and what do you wish to achieve.

 

Everything that you discuss will provide stepping stones to improve your driving and help you through the training to achieve your personal goals.
