Defensive Driving Coming Soon

At Legend Driving School, we will soon be offering a Defensive Driving Program to enhance your safety and performance behind the wheel. Affiliated by PDA, Australia’s leading provider of driver training programs & events, this Defensive Driving Programs is designed to be safe, practical, and fun to be part of.

Whether you’re an individual driver or manage a team, understanding road safety responsibilities under the WHS Act is essential. As a PCBU, you must ensure the health and safety of anyone whose driving work is influenced or directed by your business. Legend Driving School’s Defensive Driving Courses help both individuals and corporate teams meet these obligations while building safer driving habits and significantly reducing the risk of motor vehicle incidents at work or on the road.

Defensive Driving Learning Goals

Safe Following Distances

Emphasising the importance of maintaining safe distances between vehicles. Following distances reduce the likelihood of rear-end collisions and give drivers more time to react to unexpected events.

Risk Assessment

Teaching drivers how to assess and manage risks while driving. This includes evaluating road conditions, weather, and traffic, allowing drivers to make informed decisions that minimise risk.

Hazard Perception

Enhancing drivers’ ability to identify and respond to potential hazards on the road. Drivers can anticipate and avoid dangerous situations, leading to safer drivers.

Emergency Braking Techniques

Practising emergency braking and hazard identification and collision avoidance in various conditions to improve response times.
