Why Choose Our Safer Driver Training Over a Traditional Defence of Driving Course in Australia?
Most defensive driving courses rely on outdated ideas, that more skill and knowledge equals fewer crashes. But research shows that’s not generally true. In fact, improving car control skills without addressing thinking styles or motivations may actually increase risk-taking on the road.
Our Low Risk Driving Course is different. Based on the NSW Roads & Traffic Authority’s Framework for Driver Education, it explores what causes unsafe behaviours and how drivers can shift their mindset to reduce crash likelihood. We don't use racetracks or skid-pans. We teach real driving in real conditions, at your workplace, using your own vehicles.
