Group Nights are held at the Swans Nest, Station Road, Exminster, Exeter, Devon, EX6 8DZ. They are held on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 19:30. Committee members and tutors will be on hand.
Wednesday 13th July Group night and talking about the small things to observe to improve your drive. Then a trip out to see how many can be spotted. Seems simple enough, and it is, but how many have you noticed when driving?
Thursday 21st July Skills day at the Swan’s Nest. We’ll be there between 10 am and 3 pm.
This is not a 5 hour event and the actual time here would be between 1 & 2 hours, depending on which activities they wish to do and the numbers on site at the time. (Might be an idea to think of it as a morning or afternoon) Non members of Exeter Advanced will be asked to take temporary membership for the day so that we comply with our insurance. This will be at no cost to them.
Activities include: (none timed)
Know the width and length of your car.
Slalom through cones.
Reverse slalom through cones.
Parallel parking
Under the bonnet
Safety check of car and driver
Reaction speed tests (not in car)
Opportunity for assessed drive**

** this could be arranged for another day if needs be.
