Young Drivers Awareness Course

This course is all about defensive driving.

You may be on your L's or P's and you probably think you can drive pretty well. But everyone can be a better driver. You can save lives, including your own and your mates, by making better decisions when driving.

The top driving instructors from the Australian Driving Institute will teach you how to plan, look ahead and think ahead, as well as the best way to operate your vehicle.

The course covers defensive driving theory and improves your driving technique with practical exercises. Learn things many instructors don't teach!

Learn about:

Braking & steering techniques
Safe following distance
Understand alcohol, distraction, peer pressure, fatigue
Accident avoidance

...and much more!
