Custom made – Visual, ‘hands on’ training aids that
effortlessly engage your Learners & Drivers
Customised and bespoke tools specifically Designed for Driving Instructors, Coaches & Trainers
With this Training Aid you engage with all your Drivers effectively, making learning fun, visual, hands on and gives so much for you both to talk about.
The set puts an end to the need for those endless verbatim briefings that are tedious for you and sometimes difficult for the Drivers to grasp. Simply handing the Set over to them and asking them to explain what they already know results in you being able use your expertise to merely fill in the gaps (if any) in their knowledge.
The set can be used to great effect during your ADI Part 3 or Standards Check. How many competencies in the ‘Teaching & Learning Strategies’ Section are addressed in your opinion? (See Below) And how will you utilise the Car & Diagram Set to demonstrate your Training skills and understanding:
TEACHING & LEARNING STRATEGIES
Was the teaching style suited to the pupil’s learning style and current ability?
Was the pupil encouraged to analyse problems and take responsibility for their learning?
Were opportunities and examples used to clarify learning outcomes?
Was the technical information given comprehensive, appropriate and accurate?
Was the pupil given appropriate and timely feedback during the session?
Were the pupil’s queries followed up and answered?
At the end of the session – was the pupil encouraged to reflect on their own performance?
Score for teaching and learning strategies ????
The learning is more permanent because the Driver is totally engaged as they describe and visualise for you, which brings their concrete thought processes to life.
Combining the cars, other road users, and the uncluttered diagrams quickly and efficiently recaptures those critical learning opportunities. The Driver is then given an opportunity to self evaluate and solve issues they experienced with a view to avoiding that and similar situations in their futures post test.
Vehicles and colours are selected at random.

Ian Davis As Fiona Taylor knows I have been playing with this set for past 2 & half years – it has become a legendary item now within my sessions.I even have new pupils who come to me recommended by others who say ” I can’t wait to see the car set” 1
Fiona Taylor That’s fab Ian Hahaha! thanks for letting me know about that bit – I didn’t know that
Ian Davis Fiona Taylor so the story goes – Amber was in 6th form break time, a few if the girls were talking about how there driving lessons are going etc etc Amber mentioned the car set and how it really opens her imagination and allows her to see and show what she means etc. From there on everyone who knows Amber knows the car set Relating to my reply about Amber and the car set. If she couldn’t explain somethings she’d always go…. Oh godsake, get the cars out I’ll show you…..
Ian DavisFiona Taylor thinking about it, I remember after asking a lad what he thought if the car set and did it help him, he said something along the lines of …”yeah it’s wicked, I can make mistakes and not damage the car” “
“Review about cars and roads to help learn in driving lesson. (Ella Sanderson a 18 year old driving Student ) I have High Functioning Aspergers and so when the driving instructor explain things to me just by talking I find it hard to visualise/understand and remember what she is saying to me. I like using the cars and road because: ● I find that when the instructor shows me using the mini cars what to do that I can visualise it more as it is in 3d and so shows me what it actually could be like on the road in real life and what I need to do.
● I like the mini cars as the instructor can help evaluate my driving. She can ask me to show her using the car what I did and they she can show what I actually did. This is good as I can see what I did wrong clearly and how I can do better next time I do it. ● The road is good as is what an actual road looks like so it helps me learn road signs and get used to what different roads may look like . I think this road and cars resource is a great idea for students especially ones with learning difficulties and processing difficulties as it shows in 3D what the instructor is trying to explain to them and this helps visualise clearly what the instructor is explaining and wants the, to do. It also helps self evaluate driving skills and progress them on.” ES
“It is a great product and easy to use. I purchased two sets off diagrams with a clip board and the layouts of the roads are a great way of explaining the different situations that could occur whilst driving as there are different diagrams available. The pack also comes with extra dry wipe pen and cars which are useful to add on any extra details or do any demonstrations. I would definitely recommend buying the product.” AY
“This is just one of the aspects I love about this little set the ‘non-slip’ cars, pre purchasing this I used loose wheel cars & used to find it so frustrating making them stay put with only one pair of hands, now I can use all six cars at once, fantastic ? makes the scenario look so much more realistic too… thank you Fiona Taylor this set has made such a difference to my working day & the students will often say “can we use the little cars today” DW
Fantastic!
These diagrams and cars really helped me learn to drive, Fiona.
It’s not always easy to visualise road positioning or how to approach a roundabout, turning, manoeuvre etc and even though I’ve been driving 3 years
now, I still see in my mind the little car driving round the diagram of Greenstead roundabout.
I always know which lane to be in – never fails! (M.R)?

“”Thank you so much for meeting up with me, it has given me some of the confidence I was lacking to go on to give a better lesson to my pupils. I love the training aid of the cars and road layouts and find myself using them everyday as the pupils seem to get to grips with this better than the lesson planner I was previously using….you are a very kind and informative person and I am so glad that you was recommended to me. I would definately recommend you to anyone struggling with their part 3 or Standards Check. Thank you” DD
