Jeff was an awesome instructor. He was very knowledgeable and a very clear and professional speaker to the group. Thanks for a great day Jeff. This was definately a beneficial experience. I would reccomend that all drivers should do this course, should be compulsory for all new drivers. I was able to regain my confidence back on the roads after being involved in an accident. I now know I am driving a very safe car.

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.
