The car
I use a Volvo V40 R-Design as my training vehicle.
Volvos have always been renowned for safety. Hailed as one of the safest cars on the road at launch, the V40 not only scored 5 stars in the Euro NCAP safety tests but recorded the highest score of any car to undergo the tests. I’ve opted for a V40 because its high levels of active and passive safety fit well with what www.drivewithpeter.co.uk is all about: helping to produce safe drivers, but also drivers who enjoy driving. My V40 is really nice to teach in, and to learn to drive in – it also has a nice sporty character. My V40 features ABS, traction control, all-round airbags, and, of course, dual controls. It even has heated seats for the winter!
Specifications Include:
- Power Assisted Steering
- Start-Stop System
- Dual-zone Climate Control/Air Conditioning
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
- Traction Control
- Dual Controls
- Six speed Manual gearbox
- Electric Windows
- Adjustable Seat and Steering Wheel
- Spacious Interior
- All-round Airbags
- Easy to Read Dash Board
Under the bonnet...
Take a look under the bonnet of my V40 – it’s useful to know what’s what under there for the “Show me - Tell me” part of the driving test:
