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.
Engaging and Eye opening
Well organised, interesting and balanced classroom and driving sections. Very friendly staff, made special effort to know everyone's names in their groups. Great to feel and understand how a car behaves under full braking in controlled conditions. Really should be a requirement for all new drivers to experience. Hoping to do the next level again at some point. As the driving is performed in the Sandown spectator carpark, this really could take place anywhere but cool to visit the site anyway.
What you can expect
Throughout this Defensive Driver Course in Melbourne, young drivers are strongly encouraged to develop better on-road defensive driving skills and more solid techniques, while more experienced drivers also benefit enormously from advanced driver training, including the correction of old habits and improving judgement and reactions. Whether your choice of vehicle is a small sedan, a large family mover, a sports car or a four wheel drive, training in defensive driving is relevant, enjoyable, and will far improve your skills and ability levels.
This one-day Defensive Driving Course Level 1 course is suited to all drivers of regular passenger vehicles, including four-wheel drives and light commercial vehicles. The mix of practical and theoretical components of this advanced driver training session deliver actual on-road safety skills that underpin proactive driving. This experience is suitable for L and P plate drivers.
The practical driving component of our Fleet Safety and Defensive Driving Program is conducted on wet roads at suburban speeds. It includes a variety of on road exercises including emergency braking, swerving and multiple direction changes.

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.

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.
