Low Risk Driving Course 

 

TLIC0031  -  Apply low risk car driving behaviours

 

Designed for drivers of light vehicles, all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles.  This covers broad cognitive, technical, communication and vehicle management. It enhances knowledge about hazard perception, risk control and safe driving behaviour, judgement, decision making and multi tasking that builds on a drivers experience.  We cover:

• Legislation relevant to driving

• apply safe driving behaviours

• apply low rick strategies

• risk factors that contribute to accidents

• apply vehicle control skills

Driving a car may be the riskiest activity many of us will ever undertake.

Our Low Risk course is normally delivered at the workplace, but can be delivered at other centres. The courses are not designed to teach high level car control skills such as skid control or high speed cornering. Research has shown that can, in fact, lead to an increase in crash incidence. We focus on:

• Motivating drivers to be safer drivers 

• Identifying and measuring risks (Why do we take risks? How do we manage them?)

• Self-assessing driving performance (Where can I improve?)

• Modifying driver behaviour – dealing with emotions. “I think I’m a safe driver, how can I be even safer”

• What’s safe? – can I stop in time, am I travelling to fast for the conditions
