Learn to Drive Safely with Shamrock Driving School!

LEARN TO DRIVE ECO-SAFELY!

Shamrock Driving School is carbon neutral as a result of cancelling out our CO2 emissions by supporting Targetneutral UK projects such as renewable or low carbon energy that reduce the equivalent amount of CO2. These projects not only reduce global CO2 emissions benefitting everyone on the planet but in many cases support rural communities in developing countries.

Every time you drive you're emitting CO2 into the atmosphere. This greenhouse gas is believed to be one of the main contributors to climate change. The good news is you can do something about it!

Driving at an appropriate speed and within the speed limit is not only safer for all road users but also reduces your CO2 emissions and fuel costs.

Avoid hard acceleration and braking. Change gear at about 2000rpm in a diesel car or 2500rpm in a petrol car. Only change down gear once you have slowed down to an appropriate speed or the engine will be high-revving and fuel hungry. These measures will also reduce wear and tear on your vehicle together with associated repair costs.

Observe, anticipate and plan ahead so that you can avoid unnecessary stopping and starting (e.g. use engine braking).

Service your car regularly and according to the Manufacturer's schedule to maintain engine efficiency.

Check your car handbook for the correct tyre pressures and regularly ensure your tyres are at the correct pressures.

Remove any unnecessary weight (e.g. from the boot) and remove roof racks and luggage boxes when not being used.

Plan your route to avoid peak-times and known congested roads whenever possible.

Consider car sharing, avoid using your car for short journeys and use public transport whenever possible.

If your car has them, use cruise control whenever appropriate and only use the air conditioning when you need to.

Switch off the engine if you are in a queue for a long time.

Be carbon neutral and cancel out your CO2 emissions by supporting Targetneutral UK projects that reduce the equivalent amount of CO2.
