What is the Safer Drivers Course?
The Safer Drivers Course (SDC) is a safe driving course for learner drivers who receive 20 hours in their learner logbooks. The purpose of the SDC was to ultimately reduce the number of serious injury and fatal crashes involving inexperienced drivers once they transition to their P’s.
This awesome Safer Drivers Course is a great introduction to help learner drivers gain a better understanding about influential factors whilst operating a motor vehicle. The SDC aims to help young drivers understand the importance of unnecessary risk taking, distractions and internal and external influences, that can affect a drivers ability to stay safe. To help educate our young drivers, learners will be taught how to manage internal and external influences. They will learn how to look further and plan ahead whilst identifying and responding appropriately to hazards and developing hazards.
