Driving Improvement Clinic 5 Plus Point To get the most from a Driving Improvement Class Online, Drivers must be prepared to attend five additional events covering new areas of focus. The additional clinics also include familiarisation and refresher courses in the following areas of driving improvement: Driving Standards and Procedures – Further updates on the changes to driving standards and procedures Manoeuvre and handling techniques Couple of concepts of vehicle control and driver competence Standard Section 85 regulations and laws relating to driving with a valid driving licence Driver information and roadworthiness documents Handling manoeuvres – First aid at accidents In the 4th and 5th years of driving training courses, we have revised the Driver Information and Roadworthiness sections to the Points of Distribution. These changes include 5 points for minor problems, with a maximum of 10 points for minor offences such as possessing and using cannabis, cheating and failing to provide accurate vehicle information. Driving Standards and Procedures has been expanded to also cover driving standards and procedures with formal control orders. Safe, Safe, Safe Driving Clinics An essential part of the learning plan, a Safe, Safe, Safe Driving Clinic also provides further safe driving knowledge. What exactly does this mean? Well, a Safe, Safe, Safe Driving Clinic ensures that drivers will be fully aware of the legal requirements relating to safe driving. This is a total of eight hours of compulsory education which is required for the driving training course which is a mandatory element of the training certificate. The clinic is focussed on safer driving procedures, specifically for the new driver. The standard is broken down into sections that cover speeding and braking, unfamiliarized routes and vehicle manoeuvres, leaving a passenger in the car, emergency breakdown assistance and dealing with the consequences of driving without insurance. Customers attending the clinic will also have an opportunity to take some of these refresher courses if they have not done so before. A good example of this is the Emergency Roadside Service Section. Which means there are separate courses for the new driver for a detailed refresher in a Safe, Safe, Safe Driving Clinic which means the training course is completed while attending a clinic in a controlled environment. Those attending the course will also attend a Safety Driving Corner. Having taken the courses, the new driver will then have their full driving licence complete with 2 years of practical driving experience. Couple of courses with no points for a total of 16 to get the full driving licence. Driving Standards and Procedures 5 Plus Point Consisting of compulsory education, a 5 Plus Point Driving Standards and Procedures Course is the next course on the training calendar. Why? Because it’s compulsory. The course is normally done by the Driver Training Department and this means the course is now an essential element of the new driver’s training for the whole 3 years of driving training courses. This is a compulsory course to ensure the new driver is aware of the legal requirements for safe driving procedures. Specific information has also been added about driving on a car loan and insurance. This is a non-transferable course, with additional discount in your auto insurance, with 8 hours of compulsory education that must be completed before the course starts. But here is the kicker. Even if the driver passes, and successfully completes the course.
