AUSTRALIAN DRIVER TRAINERS ASSOCIATION

Safer Drivers Course Penrith
This course was first introduced by the Roads and Maritime services to help reduce the very high incidence of motor vehicle accidents involving drivers aged under 25 years old. Crash statistics showed that it was young drivers who were most likely to be involved in serious or fatal accidents. The safer drivers course was specifically developed to teach safe driving strategies to learner drivers aged under 25 years old.
The course contains a lot of useful information to help learner drivers become safer drivers. The course is an interactive learning program specifically designed to provoke group discussions and involve the learners in a fun and engaging manner. By utilising short videos and group discussions participants are able to develop a sound understanding of safe driving strategies.

A three hour interactive course conducted in a classroom designed to help participants identify the various risk factors that affect their ability to drive safely! Then when these risk factors are identified we examine different strategies that can be put in place to minimise or eliminate these risk factors. The safer drivers course utilises videos and slides to help participants develop safe driving strategies in a relaxed and stress free environment.
