Safer Drivers Course Sydney

The Safer Drivers Course Sydney is designed to help you become a safer driver by teaching you skills and techniques that you would not normally learn as a Learner driver. In addition, you will also learn low risk driving strategies that you can use to minimize your risk of being involved in a motor vehicle accident.

By analyzing the causes of motor vehicle crashes involving drivers under 25 years of age certain key risk factors have been identified. Research shows the main behavioural factors for younger drivers aged 17 – 25 years involved in fatal crashes in New South Wales are:

• Speed
• Distraction
• Illegal Alcohol
• Fatigue

In addition the five most common crash types have been identified. By understanding the causes of these crash types you will be able to reduce your road crash profile. Furthermore, strategies and techniques have been developed to help you avoid dangerous situations whilst driving.

The Safer Drivers Course is a great course for learner drivers to help them transition to driving solo on their provisional license.

Knowledge empowers you

To drive a car safely you need to develop a lot of skills that are unique to driving such as:

• A working knowledge of the road rules
• How to control the car in all conditions
• Correct road position
• Good Decision Making skills: particularly in complex traffic situations
• Gap selection: This involves judging the speed and distance of other vehicles
• Hazard Perception: sounds like a simple concept! But the reality is I have never had a student in a safer Driver Course who is good at it.
• Safe Following Distance: Everyone says they know how to do this, but less than 5% can actually maintain a safe following distance.
• Speed Management: is essential to driving safely however very few people actually understand what it means.
• Crash Avoidance Spaces: is a phrase people of heard of but very few drivers actually know what it means

Everyone has to learn how to drive, no one is born with the ability to drive. No one can just get in a car and drive, everyone has to go through the process of learning the skills and techniques required to drive a car. We all go through this process of learning to drive. Unfortunately some learner drivers do not have very good teachers and they end up becoming poor drivers.

The more you know the better you will become. This is true in every aspect of life, the people who know more are consistently able to to make better decisions. When driving a motor vehicle there will be times when you need to assess complex situations and make decisions in fractions of a second. Your ability to make the right decision will determine if you avoid an accident or become a road statistic.
