About Us

30 Years of Driver Education in Manchester, Lancashire and Yorkshire behind Us!

Why Driver Ed? We aim to educate and coach the driver in both their attitude as well as improving their on-road skills.

Our Occupational Road Risk Consultancy looks at the company’s fleet operations, assists in auditing & assessing their drivers so that their on-road practice and health & safety policies are up to date with current and new legislation; such as the new Health & Safety (Offences) Act 2008 and the Corporate Manslaughter & Corporate Homicide Act 2007.

Balance the cost of a consulation & driver assessments Vs. the potential cost of a 10% fine of your company’s annual turnover?

Eco-Safe driving is a short course educating the driver in ‘safe pro-active economical driving’. On average saving 20% of the cost of your fuel, reduced vehicle wear & tear and maintenance costs, reduced chances of collisions and reduced insurance premiums.

Our Minibus tutors hold full PCV licences & comply with the government’s new legislation announced in June 2009. We carry out driver assessments, operations compliance consultancy as well as full driving licence courses (category D1) including minibus towing (category D1+E).

The legislation on the towing of trailers can be complex, visit our towing section on the Services Page for help and advice.

Driver-ed works with major brands throughout the UK, but primarily delivers its services throughout the North West & Yorkshire. We also work with other larger training providers delivering services to their clients.

All our trainers here at driver-ed are Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency approved driving instructors, they are all on the register of Fleet trainers, they are all Disclosure and Barring Service DBS checked (Disclosure and Barring Service previously CRB).

Bruce Wood Driver Education Services Manchester

Driver-Ed was formed in September 2009 after our principle trainer, Bruce Wood, had worked with a university affiliated driver e-learning company based in Guilford. This company specialises in driver profiling & online evidence based education resources geared specifically to fleet risk management issues.

Prior to working in Guilford he worked with Greater Manchester Police as one of their driver trainers. Whilst at GMP he gained a multitude of driver coaching skills & knowledge, becoming a Driving Standards Agency (Delegated) Driving Examiner. He taught advanced, response, minibus, towing & on trucks as well as being an assessor & trainer he graduated as an adult teacher (Cert Ed) at Bolton university.
