Drive iQ PRO – Revolutionary new driving course slashes young driver premiums

Nov. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- Drive iQ PRO is the new driving course for learner drivers who want to learn how to drive as safely as possible, thereby earning a massive saving on car insurance.

With the high cost of insurance hitting young drivers harder than ever before – in October the BBC reported that premiums for 17 to 22-year-olds are said to have risen by 47% in just one year – Drive iQ PRO couldn’t have arrived at a better time.

a²om (“atom”), the creators of Drive iQ PRO, developed the driving course to replace and enhance the conventional way of learning to drive. Drive iQ PRO goes further than the standard driving tuition, teaching attitudes and behaviour behind driving, rather than just car control skills. Emphasis is on reflective learning and self-assessment, ensuring a driver is fully equipped to deal with life on the road after their test. The structured course is broken down into five units (including a post-test module) and combines both online and in-car tuition. It is delivered by specially trained Drive iQ PRO coaches and has nationwide coverage through partnership with the AA and independent driving schools. Drive iQ PRO is for the young driver who wants, not only to pass their driving test, but to be the best driver possible.

Drive iQ PRO costs £150 to enrol and learners pay their Coach directly for lessons. Aside from becoming a safer driver, the main benefit of taking the Drive iQ PRO course is an insurance rate that reflects all the extra training. The insurance partner believe that PRO graduates will be less likely to make a claim and, as a result, are able to offer an outstanding fixed price insurance matrix for both provisional licence holders and graduates (more information at www.driveiq.co.uk/Learn.aspx). Early indications show savings between £400 and £600 on average – one graduate even saved £2,600! In addition to benefiting from improved driving tuition and reduced insurance premiums, PRO graduates also receive a BTEC level 2 qualification, the perfect addition to a CV.

Catherine, a Drive iQ PRO student, says: “The online modules matched with the in-car practical lessons together combine into a true, even fun, learning experience. I will soon be able to reap the rewards from the course as the quote for my insurance is significantly lower than what it would be without learning to drive PRO.”

With scientific research and the media finding that young minds need further training in critical driving skills, Drive iQ PRO aims to do just this. a2om do not believe in limiting young drivers once they have passed their test but believe that, as Andrew Bayne (Co-Founder) confirms: “Better driver education will save lives” and those who learn to drive PRO will be rewarded.
