Defensive Driving Brisbane

Throughout this Defensive Driver Course in Canberra, young and old drivers alike are strongly encouraged to develop better on-road defensive driving skills and more solid techniques, while more experienced drivers also benefit enormously from advanced driver training, including the correction of old habits and improving judgement and reactions. Whether your choice of vehicle is a small sedan, a large family mover, a sports car or a four wheel drive, training in defensive driving is relevant, enjoyable, and will far improve your skills and ability levels. 

This one-day Defensive Driving Course Level 1 course is suited to all drivers of regular passenger vehicles, including four-wheel drives and light commercial vehicles. The mix of practical and theoretical components of this advanced driver training session deliver actual on-road safety skills that underpin proactive driving.

The practical driving component of our Fleet Safety and Defensive Driving Program is conducted on wet roads at suburban speeds. It includes a variety of on road exercises including emergency braking, swerving and multiple direction changes.

Jeff and Pete did a wonderful job to provide a non-judgmental, fun and informative defensive driving course. I thought it would be dry and boring, I was glad to be proved wrong! thanks. R Delbridge Drives home the message about wiping 5km off your speed. Having experienced it at the course, it stands true. Also highlighted some capabilities of what your own car can do. I never thought it would make a diffence but since undertaking the course my confidence and awareness have changed dramitically.

Thanks for everything, I enjoyed it so much when I came home my parents were shocked that I had fun because they thought that I was only going there to learn, not to have fun!
Cameron S
It was a wonderful day, I learnt new things, came to grips with things I kind of new and I am sure I will be a much safer driver as a result of the day. The instructors were fantastic.

Probably all drives should do this course - I think it will be helpful for my children ( all new drivers) to do.
