* Through practical driving exercises, become more ‘speed aware’, particularly in how the degree of vehicle control difficulty increases exponentially in relation to increases in vehicle speeds.

* Learn to predict potential hazards, identify risky situations and minimise danger.

Just a few q's please, as I've never gone, but am interested:

How much are these usually?

Do people know also of any insurance company which can reduce your premium once you do one of these?

Does someone sit in the passenger side and give you tips as you go along or is it just go out after a lecture and discover the limits of your car at your own leisure kind of thing?

Thanks.

Just to answer a couple of questions.

FWD is fine.

You would expect to pay around the $280 so $99 is a magic price.

As for insurance. Ring and find out if they would do you a better deal .

And you wont have anyone sitting next to you .

Guys this is a great deal . But ya dont need me to tell you that..

definitely going, but, just to make sure, you need to have a victorian license to do the course right? is a singaporean or international license alright? since i might have friends coming over in march or june, thought i'd take them for a course or 2.

Ok

Just so there is no confusion

THIS IS NOT AN ADVANCED DRIVING COURSE, NOR IS IT A TRACKDAY.

This is a Defensive Driving Course, please have a careful read through my first post for details on the course content.

The day is split 50 / 50 driving and theory

Kind regards

I know in the initial post it was written that it's suitable for driver's aged 18-80.

Just wanted to know if I could still take part as I'm 17 and still only on my L's.

Would your insurance etc still cover it? or is a current full or probabtionary licence needed?

L Platers are OK, but must have a fully licensed driver in the car with them.

Hi,

Interested to see any feedback from those who attended this defensive driving course. Any comments anyone?

Also wondering about the age range of attendees. Any 'older' drivers?

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
