Defensive Driving Course

[MattR]

Has anyone thought of organising a devensive driving course as a group?? Would be a good Idea to make a day of it and have fum at the same time. Any ideas?

[TIMMMAYYY]

I thought learning how do defensively drive was being stuck in the middle of a commodore cruise???

I sounds like a good idea though. I hear they're pretty good fun

[Nightcrawler]

Whatever gave you that idea Matt? .... yeah let's get the ball rolling and arrange something! You know I'm in!

Whilst they can cost a bit of money, at the end of the day what is your life worth? Even if you only learn decent braking techniques it could very well make the difference between life and death - of you and/or your car!

See you in Heaven the night club next time you are getting pissed.

[MattR]

Defensive driving - what exactly do they teach?

Also, does anyone around adelaide do public track days - get someone to take your car for a couple of hot laps and give some driving tips???

Cheers

So dudes, what do you think, yay or gay?

Erica.

[Steve]

Newbie (to adelaide) question, what is TTP?

[cowboyb]

Tea Tree Plaza.... shopping mall just north East of the city.

Defensive Driving course sounds good. How much would we have to pay to participate? Count me in, if its less than $200.

Thanks cowboyb,

Cheeky, if motorkhana is dodging witches hats, think I'll be leaving it to the Mitsi fellas.

Thanks anyways

[MattR]

Still trying to find out details, been working too much this week to do much. When I get more details ill let everyone know.

[Nightcrawler]

Sounds good to me Erica .... those Motorkhanas look sick .... I'll give it a go!

[GFXman]

Motorkhanas? Someone wanna enlighten me? :confused:

[Nightcrawler]

Lots of little witches hats organised into a track then you go one at a time through the course, whilst being timed. Normally very quickly and VERY sideways! I have never done it but have seen the MG club doing it at TTP .... looked like a blast!

[MattR]

I used to do these sort of things when I had my mini:D They are great fun I may come along and give it a go.

[MattR]

Finnaly got some details, They recomend we do the collision avoidance/car control course which is about $240. They have pre planned dates which are all during the week; April 15 & 29(my bday) May 7 & 30 June 13 & 26.

BUT if we have a garanted more than 15 than do another day just for us which would be the way to go. There is also the option of doing the Advanced Driver Training course instead, which is the same price. So what does everone think??

[GTR King]

Sounds good but wont save u if u get some "P" plater Knob Jokey sitting up your ass like happened to me on the 4,6 @ Rotary cruise. I had some wanker sitting 3 meters from the back of my car for 12 of the cruise. Some wanker in a white Saab. In future im gonna pull over and let em go when they tail gate me. Any one else get this prob on cruises?

[hippy]

the only problem i have on cruises is thati'm always last and i'm too slow do u know if these courses will lower ur excess with young and cool insurance??
