Eco-friendly driving and economical driving are actually exactly the same thing...

From the start of their driving lessons, all clients learning to drive with A1 Automatic Driving School are taught advanced observation and analytical skills.

Eco-friendly driving training starts with convincing the driver to be gentle with ALL of the controls, gas, brake and clutch pedals, steering and brakes. This is because harsh use of each of the controls reduces efficiency and wears out the parts of the car that cost money, pollution and energy to replace or repair

The other part of Eco-friendly driving training, is the advanced observation, analysis and converting information to actions skills. An example of this would be where a driver is approaching traffic lights. The average driver does not look very far in front of their bonnet. A better trained driver will look much further ahead, see the traffic light change early; after checking mirrors for safety, that driver will, reduce the pressure on the gas pedal proportionately to the distance from the traffic lights. It will therefore be more likely that the driver may not have to break at all, that the car will not stop, but one gear change, according to the speed the car is travelling at when the lights change and gentle acceleration will suffice

This would mean That:
