Defensive Driving - The Original Driver Development Course
Previously known as the Defensive Driving Course, this is our most popular course and varies from delegate to delegate as the trainers will tailor the course to suit the development needs of each and every driver. Drivers will be taught a systematic approach to hazards and defensive driving techniques to minimise risk in the driving environment. The principles will then be applied to the three main driving environments – town, country and motorway.
