NSW Anyone interested in a defensive driving course

[Manaz]

Hi all,

I'm considering sending someone I know to do a defensive driving course, and will probably do it as well (I think it's about time I did another, and I also think it's only fair that I eat my own cake as well).

Anyone else interested in doing one of these? The two I'm considering at present are the Ian Luff "Drive to Survive" course (http://www.ianluff.com.au/drive_to_survive) or the Murcotts Defensive Driver Training Program Level 1 (http://www.murcotts.com.au/murcotts/...vinglevel1.sok).

I'd like to do a more advanced course down the track as well - both training centres require you to have done their first level course (as above) to move onto the higher level courses.

I've been told by a mate that the Ian Luff driving courses are very good. I was seriously considering doing one when my Tig isn't quite so new and I'm willing to punish it a bit.

Any info you can give would probably be useful in determining which path we take!

[MissVuks]

I'd be interested if it was on a weekend - cant afford to take days off from work...

Yeah, same - a weekend is definitely what I'd be aiming for.

Okay from my memory - I did it 2 years back in my civic.

Defensive (skid pan) - Threshold braking ...braking to steer away for objects (S-shaped)...

Advance (skid pan):
(1) Oversteer training
(2) Slalom
(3) Clover
(4) Some huge circle (skidpan)

Performance
1 instructor : 5 students track day at OP (helmet require)
Depends on your learning level and experience...i was taught rev matching properly (heel toe), late braking, left foot braking for turns
that doesn't require downshift.
CAMS test for those ppl interested.

That is all i could remember....

hope it helps
