Motorway Anxiety Course
Whether you’re a nervous driver, fleet professional, or everyday road user, our science-backed motorway anxiety course helps you reduce anxiety, build confidence, lower risk, and feel more in control on the motorway.
Master Motorway Driving with VR & Online Training
Gain Confidence, Reduce Risk, and Improve Your Motorway Skills
Motorway driving can be intimidating, with many drivers avoiding them due to anxiety or lack of experience. Despite being the safest roads in the UK, motorways are often underused because of a lack of training and guidance for existing drivers.
At Esitu Solutions, we have developed an innovative motorway anxiety course designed to improve hazard perception, build confidence, reduce anxiety, and enhance decision-making on the Strategic Road Network (SRN). Available in both Virtual Reality (VR) and standard online formats, this course features real-world motorway driving scenarios, filmed in 360-degree video, with expert commentary to guide drivers through best-practice techniques.
Whether you’re an anxious driver, a learner preparing for motorway driving, or simply looking to refine your skills, this course offers real, practical insights to help you drive more confidently and safely.

Evidence-Based Training
Developed by leading transport psychologists, this course is based on extensive research and real-world testing with 400 motorway-anxious drivers. Using scientifically validated techniques, it actively reduces motorway anxiety, enhances confidence, improves knowledge, and decreases risk-taking through immersive, real-world training.
VR or Online Training – Learn Your Way
Available in two formats to suit your learning style. The Virtual Reality (VR) version offers a fully immersive 360-degree experience on Meta Quest headsets, placing you in the passenger seat to observe real motorway driving. The online video version delivers the same expert-led training on PCs, laptops, or tablets, featuring real-world scenarios and commentary. Both formats let you learn at your own pace and revisit lessons anytime, anywhere.
Motorway Hazard Perception Test with Expert Feedback
Traditional hazard perception tests do not include motorway scenarios, leaving a gap in driver training. This course features a Strategic Road Network (SRN) Hazard Perception Test, designed specifically for motorway driving, allowing you to test your ability to spot hazards in a realistic motorway setting. With expert feedback on missed hazards, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to anticipate risks and respond effectively, improving overall motorway safety.
Multiple Camera Perspectives for a Real-World View
The course uses multiple camera perspectives to provide a real-world view of best-practice motorway driving techniques. The passenger seat view offers a ride-along experience with real-time narration from an expert driver, allowing you to observe decision-making firsthand. The drone-follow view provides a wide, unrestricted perspective of traffic movement, lane discipline, and overtaking, helping you visualise safe motorway driving from different angles. These viewpoints reinforce key driving concepts and enhance learning by offering a complete picture of motorway safety.
Expert Commentary for Step-by-Step Guidance
Expert guidance is at the heart of this training, with real-time verbal commentary from an expert driver explaining each decision as it happens. This step-by-step narration helps you understand complex motorway situations, learn best-practice techniques, and develop safer driving habits by following an expert’s thought process. By combining immersion with expert-led insights, this course ensures that motorway driving skills are easy to understand and apply in real-world scenarios.
