Driver Awareness Scheme

The Driver Awareness Scheme

Driver Awareness Scheme LogoThe Driver Awareness Scheme (DAS) is a classroom-based course, delivered by trained driving instructors and road safety professionals.

It uses a range of interactive techniques to ensure the course is engaging for participants.

Participants on the course are usually people who have been detected speeding on Dorset’s roads, driven through a red light or been stopped at the roadside for other driving offences.  They have been offered the education course as an alternative to a Fixed Penalty Process. 

As well as examining the consequences of excess and inappropriate speed, the course also provides an opportunity for drivers to refresh their observation and hazard perception skills.

The DAS course is also open to anyone keen to improve their driver education. If you’d like to come along and benefit from the expert tuition and advice then;
