Why Do I Need to Untertake an EDT Process!!!

The purpose of EDT is to save lives, all road users are advised that obtaining a driving licence is not a right, its a privilege! a privilege that may be taken away if you do not know and understand and obey the rules of the road. As a learner driver you are exposed to greater risks when using the roads due to inexperience. Maximising your road safety knowledge and behaviours helps you to develop the skills and confidence needed to share the road safely with others.
By completing your EDT with Celtic Driving School an RSA approved driving instructor, you will build a strong foundation on which to become a better, safer and more competent driver for life. |
