COURSE DESCRIPTION

Defensive Driving Simulation is a practical course that instructs drivers in the techniques, skills and attitude required to safely operate a vehicle. Hands-on practice using a mobile, high fidelity, virtual reality simulator supplements theoretical instruction. The thirteen (13) hour mixed practical exercises and simulation provide a realistic learning experience that places participants in dangerous situations without actually putting them in danger. The simulation demonstrates the dangers of the inability to recognize visual cues and hazards, which could lead to collisions and/or fatalities. Additionally, simulation allows students to practice defensive driving. Assessment takes the form of both theory and practical simulation performance.

COURSE AIMS

The aim of this course is to utilise knowledge transfer knowledge and the inculcation of requisite skills paramount for safe driving in order to instil proper driver attitudes and behaviours.
