What is defensive driver training?

Defensive Driving is a way of reducing driving risks by anticipating hazards or dangerous situations and avoiding them safely. Our Defensive Driver Training is designed to save lives, time and money regardless of the conditions around you and the actions of others.

We have developed the training for drivers in a manner that expands the rules and driving basics for safe ON ROAD driving and introduces that mindset into the driving requirements for GRAVEL ROADS and also OFF ROAD / DESERT DRIVING.

Courses can be tailored to meet clients specific requirements, but the standard course includes the following:

Vehicle Components and Safety Checks
Hazard Identification and Safety Margin Assessment
Causes and Consequences of Vehicle Crashes
Vehicle Dynamics
Stress & Driver Fatigue
Drug & Alcohol Abuse
Practical Driving Theory & Techniques

We have found that by following defensive driver training our clients have seen the following benefits:

Lower insurance premiums

Increase in client satisfaction through raised productivity
Reduction in accidents, incidents and injuries
