DriveSafe Plus
Three In-Car Sessions for Real Confidence on Spanish Roads
- €120 full course -
Take your confidence further with DriveSafe Plus — a structured three-session course designed to help you master everyday Spanish driving with skill, awareness, and calm control.
Each one-hour, one-to-one session targets specific challenges expats regularly experience — from local habits and priority rules to defensive awareness and road etiquette.
Session 1 – Road Awareness & Local Habits
Tackles pain points: roundabouts, lane discipline, local habits, changing speed limits, right-hand driving adjustment
Learn to:
Navigate roundabouts confidently and interpret Spain’s mixed signalling styles.
Adjust naturally to driving on the right — using practical anchors that stop old habits creeping back.
Read how local drivers merge, exit, and use the left lane on motorways (autovía vs autopista).
Recognise key priority signs such as the yellow diamond and manage junctions smoothly.
Stay calm and consistent in busy traffic and town centres.
Session 2 – Defensive Driving & Hazard Response
Tackles pain points: tailgating, scooters, pedestrians, poor road conditions, overtaking behaviour
Learn to:
Handle tailgaters safely and manage close-followers without tension.
Share the road confidently with scooters and filtering motorbikes.
Anticipate hazards early — from short amber lights to drivers running them.
React smoothly to poor surfaces, blind bends, and sudden changes in speed limits.
Practise safe overtaking and learn why undertaking is illegal, even if locals do it.
Use headlights and signals clearly for visibility and courtesy.
Session 3 – Manoeuvres, Parking & Everyday Control
Tackles pain points: parking, low-speed control, confidence after time away, common legal pitfalls
Learn to:
Park with confidence — understand curb colours (blue, green, yellow), payment zones, and direction-of-travel rules.
Master low-speed control, hill starts, and reversing into tight spaces.
Apply your skills through a guided local “confidence route” combining urban, coastal, and rural roads.
Review legal essentials: what to carry in your car, what fines can follow you, and how to check online for outstanding penalties.
Reinforce key habits that keep you safe — from steady spacing to smoother scanning and anticipation.
By the end of DriveSafe Plus, you’ll have addressed every major frustration expats face on Spanish roads, both behind the wheel and in day-to-day ownership. You’ll feel calm, competent, and fully in tune with Spain’s unique driving rhythm.
Ideal for:
Drivers who’ve completed DriveSafe Essentials
Expats ready to adapt fully to Spanish roads
Anyone rebuilding or strengthening driving confidence
