Everyday there are 3 fatalities on Australian Roads with many more people being seriously injured. More than 90% of accidents are caused by human error and with the right skills, knowledge and attitude these accidents could all be avoided.
Australian Road Safety Academy has developed the Level 1 Defensive Driving Course to specifically address this issue. Make the right choice no matter your background or experience and give yourself the best chance at keeping you and your loved ones safe on the road.
Our Level 1 Course is a 4 hour 100% practical and outdoor course that gets you behind the wheel of your own vehicle in a controlled environment learning what to do if something were to go wrong.
