Car crash simulator
Car crash simulator
Our car crash simulator replicates the experience of a serious road crash. It highlights what can happen due to poor decision-making.
Prices start at £150, depending on the time and location of the event.
It lasts 8 to 10 minutes and can seat up to four people.
The participants will watch a video that involves a young driver and passengers. The audio-visual technology and suspension will give them an idea of what a collision is like.
They will learn about the fatal four:
- drink or drug driving
- seatbelts
- speed
- distractions (for example, mobile phones or peer pressure)
The simulator is not suitable for under 14s, due to its graphic nature.
You must notify if any potential participant suffers from any health problems, such as:
- emotional or psychological issues
- asthma
- respiratory issues
- epilepsy
- muscular, skeletal or nerve issues

Minibus assessments
We are pleased to support schools, colleges, and organisations with managing occupational road risk. This helps to make the roads of Lincolnshire safer.
Minibus assessments are conducted from the organisation’s premises, using their minibus.
A highly trained and qualified driver trainer assessor will support drivers throughout the assessment session. The sessions last for approximately one hour.
Bookings and fees are based upon a full day.
There are two assessment options to choose from:
- option 1 – up to four drivers assessed individually per day. Aimed towards experienced or confident minibus drivers who may only require straightforward advice
- option 2 – up to two drivers coached and assessed per day. Aimed towards less experienced or less confident minibus drivers who may require more in-depth coaching
Further information regarding the assessment will be sent with the booking confirmation.
If you require further information or advice, please contact: drivertraining@lincolnshire.gov.uk or call 01522 212313.
Taxi driver assessments
As part of Lincolnshire local taxi licensing authority policy of risk and casualty reduction, applicants are required to attend a driving assessment. This is to evidence their suitability and skill set toward safe and competent driving. The taxi driver assessment is mandatory. It is designed to assess applicants’ driving skills and follows a managed approach to the safe use of vehicles.
The assessment consists of a practical drive with a driver trainer assessor lasting approximately one hour. This is followed by a debrief lasting approximately 15 minutes. Applicants are required to demonstrate that as a driver they are above average, safe, and competent using a system of car control. An in-depth knowledge of the highway code is essential.
To pass the assessment, drivers must gain a final assessment result of 'low risk'.
Prior to taking the assessment, applicants are strongly advised to undertake driver training or enhancement with a professional approved driving instructor (at own cost).
Re-assessments cannot be offered until evidence of additional professional driver training or enhancement has been submitted.
Each assessment costs £80. Assessments are usually held in Lincoln but can be arranged for Boston, if required.
Assessment date waiting time can be up to eight weeks.
If you require further information or advice, please contact: drivertraining@lincolnshire.gov.uk or call 01522 212313.
