THE NEXT STEP in a process to safer driving . . .

Driver Training Courses designed for inexperienced drivers to develop basic driving skills, accident prevention, skid control, panic stops, braking techniques and highway driving awareness programmes will assure that the novice driver is prepared to handle the daily obstacles of city and commuter traffic.

The Bill Brack advanced driver training clinic consists of a short classroom session and vehicle safety inspection and a series of driving exercises designed to illustrate the dynamics and performance of the vehicle. The on track exercises include a simple slalom, a rapid lane change, obstacle avoidance, and emergency wet and dry braking.

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

It is our firm belief that students graduating from our advanced driving course will have a greater understanding of their vehicle dynamics and their own ability to control their vehicle to avoid accidents and personal injury.

The training course is completed in a single day, with the classroom and driving sessions comprised of a maximum of 20 students.



VEHICLE HANDLING DYNAMICS
Moderated exercises sharpen the skills (hand-eye-foot control & co-ordination). We stress precision rather than speed.

EMERGENCY BRAKING
Our series of emergency braking exercises in both wet and dry (and seasonal winter conditions) demonstrates that preparedness and following at a safe distance - are prime safety habits.

SAFE HIGHWAY SPEED LANE CHANGES
This skill is taught in both normal and sudden emergency mode, gradually increasing speeds until highway speed proficiency is reached.

SOFT SHOULDER RECOVERY
This skill simulates dropping two right side wheels off the pavement and safely recovering vehicle position. This is seen as a primary method for avoiding cross-over head-on collisions.

MERGING INTO AND OUT OF TRAFFIC
A skill that emphasizes matching the traffic flow speed and spacing.

INTERSECTION SMARTS
Heads up training gets their eyes, ears and brains stimulated and concentrated for the tasks at hand.

UNSAFE VEHICLES
We professionally scrutinize the participants vehicle to identify and educate upon certain aspects of pre-drive safety.
