About Our Training Model
What's better than an Advanced Driving Course or a Defensive Driving Course? Answer, a Driver Training Australia one-day Low Risk Driving Course, and here's why.
Let's start with a couple of questions. Is it possible to drive a new car dangerously? Yes. Is it possible to drive a really old car cautiously. Yes. So what's the difference? The answer is effort. You don't need extra knowledge or car control skills to drive more cautiously, just the will to put in the extra effort.
It's easy to think that drivers who attend a regular advanced or defensive driving course will be safer because of the knowledge and drivings skills acquired on the course. This isn't true. Did you know that some types of driver training cause produce more crashes, not less?
The main reason ordinary driver training doesn't reliably produce safer drivers, is because it doesn't address the main factors that increase intrinsic safety motivation; it doesn't impact positively on a driver's willingness to put in extra effort to avoid crashes when necessary. It's critical that drivers leave a program knowing how to, and want to, drive more cautiously.
Our logo represents the idea that any driver can be safer by 'targeting' the areas that they would like to improve on, or leverage off. We don't try to tell you what's right or wrong, good or bad. We just try to "keep it real" and let you know what will help you, and what won't. We use the latest science to give you confidence. Because our approaches are very sophisticated, our instructors need specialist training and skills, so we charge a little more than our competitors. We know you'll understand and be grateful.
Below we can see the four domains of adult learning that are represented in our Logo and Training Model; Behaviour, Cognition, Emotion and Spirit. On a Driver Training Australia one-day Low Risk Driving Course we develop learning experiences and competencies in the Behavioural a Cognitive domains. With practise, these excite and promote intrinsicly motivated cautious behaviour.

Spirit
"I like to reflect on what's really important to me, in my life" Broadly speaking, spirituality relates to being connected with something greater than oneself. Spirituality is NOT about religion, however, many people who identify as spiritual may also be religious. If this is you, we understand how and why you ask questions like "What is really important to me?", "Am I on track?", or "What legacy will I leave after I'm gone?". Even though we DO NOT develop these specific competencies on a Low Risk Driving Course, we can design a bespoke program for you, on request. |
