The advantage of this course is that you’re also likely to find yourself sitting next to someone who’ll help you get around the bad habits that you’ve picked up since originally passing your test – many drivers will go their whole driving career from passing their test onward without once having anyone give them constructive feedback on how they’re doing. You will learn how to pick up on the signals that other road users are giving, but you’ll consider what signals your own driving can send out and how to use that to your advantage. The principles of defensive driving are avoiding dangers, avoiding running into dangers, and avoiding causing dangers.
