Advanced Driver Training

 

 

 

 

 

 

Defensive driving techniques are outdated and no longer relevant on our roads. The difference with accident avoidance techniques is that you attempt to gain information on the driving environment before there is any necessity to take defensive action. Also, accident avoidance techniques rely on good observation, gear selection and vehicle position to avoid any situation or incident before it potentially becomes a serious accident. 

Many young drivers do not receive any experience in heavy traffic or difficult driving conditions prior to obtaining their licence. These situations require confidence and the ability to make and execute correct decisions quickly.

Initially, Laurie conducts a carefully developed classroom session explaining the necessary principals, skills and techniques involved. Laurie then assesses the trainee drivers’ ability prior to taking them into densely populated situations that require quick decision making to practice the advanced DT techniques.

Mature Age Test Preparation

Due to NSW regulations, drivers 85 years or older are required to complete a driving test before being reissued with a licence. As transport regulations and RTA requirements have changed over the years, this can make the test a rather harrowing and difficult event.

Laurie can help the mature age driver to brush up on their driving skills and enlighten them as to today’s Road Law and what the RTA test will require of them prior to sitting the driving test.

Laurie has assisted Gosford and Wyong Councils with their very popular Seniors Driving program.

Skills Assessment

                     

For those wishing to improve their skills on today's busy and unforgiving roads, Laurie can assist any holder of a current drivers licence by assessing their current skill level and instructing them in the finer points of driving.

This becomes very useful when you decide to drive a manual car after many years of driving automatics
