Last question ...... sorry to bombard you all.
My treasured daughter turns 16 very soon and will start to drive. I'd like to give her a good start behind the wheel and get her into a defensive driving coarse.
Any one out there have any experience with a good mob to turn to in the Melbourne area (there are heaps out there but I want to make sure I get the right one).
Once again thanks to the trusted crowd I always turn to for advice.
Cheers,
Franga
Sorry Carlton, not in Melbourne any more
but I'll bet Smitty will reply & be able to point you in the right direction. :yup: :toetap:
I did the Driver Dynamics Defensive Driving course, then their Advanced Driving course, both in 2014 and then their Beginners Drifting course in the Senator in 2016, all at Sandown. I have nothing to compare to but to me they were great! Did it to try to prove to my neurologist I was still a safe driver.

several hundred metres of roadside fencing by going to a day with the 'Bob Jane Peter Brock' driving school at calder
(but this no longer exists obviously)
but
then over the following years, I have done the standard 'defensive' car control course.. followed a few years later by the 'advanced'
then High Performance 1 (taught to various ' protective security and police drivers) and HP version II.. for the race track.
Further, I have given my neices and nephews gift vouchers to Murcotts for their 18th birthdays, last one was 4 years ago
There are others around ( I did a 'fun' car stunt course with Driver Dynamics for the 60th) but the family have all commented
on how good the Murcott courses have been
I have also sent a few 'wayward' company car drivers there (since getting the Fleet Managers hat 10 years) ago... all have
clean no incident records since
my 2c
Thanks Smitty, appreciate it bud.
Called them this arvo ......
Cheers Wonky!
hope it goes well for her mate ...Quote:
