Sandown Raceway Defensive and Advanced Driver Training, Full Day

Highlighted reviews
Outstanding day!
I bought this for my new learner driver who had only completed 2hours of driving practice prior to this course. We both learnt so much about our vehicle and its breaking capabilities. This really is a must do for everybody, and should be part of a driving program required for all Learner and P plate drivers.
Had a great time
Instructors were great and really helpful would recommend to anyone looking to improve their driving skills.
What you can expect
This experience is presented over 2 days and in a relaxed, friendly, and supportive environment by qualified, experienced instructors. The first course you'll mix it up with theory and practical components, so regardless of your driving experience, you'll have a great day of learning. The second session is the Advanced Car Control Course gives you the opportunity to push a little harder, learn more technical and advanced vehicle dynamics, and explore ‘high end’ vehicle control skills at the critical limit, but in a safe and non-threatening environment. This course requires concentration and commitment right up to the last minute, but best of all its great fun! Please Note: You will be required to bring your own vehicle on the day.

Limited Driving Area but Friendly Staff
The driving space was relatively small, making it challenging to attain the necessary speed for braking, and there were restrictions on the variety of maneuvers practiced. The staff, however, were friendly and generally well-informed.

Review for Defensive Driving Course, P-Plate & L-Plate School Holiday Special - Melbourne
Maybe my expectations were too high?
We booked this experience for our 18 year old who has had his Ps for six months. We thought that he would gain a lot of experience about controlling the car better, being able to quickly navigate conditions and learn about emergency breaking - particularly if a car was ever out of control. We also thought the additional theory would be good. Unfortunately, even though he was trying to make it a positive experience, he came away feeling like it wasn't a great use of the day. The instructors were lovely, but he didn't learn anything beyond what he'd already covered in his P test, or that he'd leant from driving with us. Perhaps it's better suited to people with no confidence or little driving experience, but unfortunately we can't recommend this course for if you are already an experienced driver and want to genuinely be a better driver and learn to drive defensively.
