Frequently Asked Questions
Will the training harm my vehicle?
No. We have an impeccable safety record on all our courses, and thanks to our experienced trainers, participants are never extended beyond their capabilities.

What about tyre wear?
The surface used at our training centre in East Perth has been laid specifically to ensure a smooth, wet braking area. In general, vehicle sympathy is given particular attention throughout all of our training courses.

What about vehicles?
The best vehicle to use is the one that you normally drive. Each and every car is different, and will react different to our emergency simulations.
But, if required, Drive Safe Australia can provide a vehicle. 4WD vehicles are provided for metro courses and suitable on-site venues.

How big are the groups?
Most groups are between eight and 12 people (minimum two trainers), this being the group size that Drive Safe Australia finds most effective. It allows good interaction among participants, as well as allowing drivers to learn from watching, as well as driving.
Group sizes vary for 4WD courses, with a maximum participant/trainer ratio of 4:1.
