A few useful details

Before you join.

Who is the trial for?

Driving instructors and driving schools evaluating Road Minds. Each account belongs to a named instructor. Please use your own details and don’t share your login.

Can I use it with my learners?

Yes, during supervised evaluation, between lessons or while safely parked. Learners don’t receive a separate login or copies under this trial. Never use the guides in a way that distracts a driver.

Is this the same as the Calm Driving Cards?

No. This trial covers the lesson plans and visual driving guides. The Calm Driving Cards are a separate product, with their own free sample and purchase options on the homepage.

What happens after 30 days?

Your trial access ends automatically. There is no payment or automatic subscription. Any future purchase would be a separate choice, with the full price and terms explained first.

Is the content kept up to date?

The instructor edition is reviewed and updated regularly. As with any teaching resource, please check guidance before teaching it and use your professional judgement. Road Minds supports instruction and does not replace the Highway Code, vehicle handbook or practical tuition. It is not an official DVSA product.

Do I need to install an app?

No. The trial runs in your web browser. We welcome feedback on how it works on your phone, tablet or computer.
