Eco-safe driving

Most of us understand the environmental consequences of driving but motorists can minimise their carbon footprint by amending their driving style to use less fuel and save money. That is the essence of eco-safe driving.

Savings of 5% to 17% (averaging 8.5%) in fuel used can be made by Eco-safe driving. Less experienced drivers are able to demonstrate the greatest savings.

All Atom driving lessons include eco-safe driving tuition with instruction on:

• Hazard awareness
  
  
• Compliance with speed limits
  
  
• Starting and moving away
  
  
• Selective use of gearbox with block changes
  
  
• Progressive use of accelerator
  
  
• Engine braking
  
  
• Planning well ahead and perception
  
  
• Utilising engine power and torque
  
  
• Use of cruise control
  
  
• Carrying unnecessary weight
  
  
• Route planning
  
  
• Avoiding congestion
  

Adapt your driving to include these changes and you'll become a more environmentally friendly, economically aware driver and may enjoy your journeys more as they become less stressful and more comfortable.

Remember, braking wastes fuel.
