Graduated licensing has placed restrictions on drivers attempting to become familiar and experienced with safe handling practices on our major freeways and cogested city roads. Give your child the opportunity to learn safe practices before being subjected to the roadways and conditions in which they have never had opportunity to experience.

The on track exercises include a simple slalom through a series of pylons, a rapid lane change, obstacle avoidance, emergency dry braking and emergency wet braking, concluding with another slalom and emergency stop on the graveled area of the paddock.

Students are first be taken through the full range of exercises as passengers with an instructor at the wheel, prior to them taking control of the vehicle themselves. The students would then proceed through the exercises at city traffic speeds to gain familiarity of the exercises and a feel for the dynamics of the vehicle, building up speed with consecutive runs to a comfort zone at highway speed.
