Defensive Driving for Experienced Drivers

Defensive Driving for Experienced Drivers is a 3 hour training course for fully licensed drivers who want to get their driving skills up to the latest standards. You will learn positive driving behaviours and gain a responsible philosophy towards yourself and other road users.

As motorists, we spend a lot of time in our vehicles. Driving requires us to be alert, understand our own abilities, assess the attitudes of other road users and be aware of the environment around us. We can all benefit by being taught to do it properly.

Driving is a complex task - driver error contributes to over three quarters of road crashes. Our roads are complex and getting more crowded - even experienced drivers need to update their driving skills to be safer drivers.
