Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are the key learning objectives? A. The key learning objectives are: * Through practical driving exercises, become more ‘speed aware’, particularly in how the degree of vehicle control difficulty increases exponentially in relation to increases in vehicle speeds. * Develop an understanding of basic vehicle dynamics, in emergency situations * Learn to predict potential hazards, identify risky situations and minimise danger * Understand the importance of keeping your vision high and maintaining sensible safety margins around your vehicle at all times * Develop a positive and proactive attitude towards defensive driving
Q: Why attend the course?
A: Novice drivers already think they are experts and that a crash won’t happen to them, but this course can reduce the risks, the embarrassment, injury and enormous costs of having a crash. The course is also heaps of fun and a great experience.
Q: Do we use skid-frames or skid pans in the Safe Drive Test Drive Program?
A: No, we do not use skid-frames as they provide artificial simulation of how a car behaves when skidding.
Safe Drive Training does use a skid pan for our specialized Skid Pan Experience and Drift School Motorsport Program, but attendance is limited to drivers over 21 or those that have completed the Safe Drive Test Drive Program, these dedicated programs allow the time to correctly teach these techniques.
Best practice training for novice drivers is for skill failure experiences that provide an insight into their own capabilities and a vehicles limitations.

Q: Do I have to use my own car?
