The Defensive Driving Course is a 5 session training course which includes videos and online driver training tools from eDrive that you can use on your home computer, and an in-vehicle coaching session with a 2 Drive Safe instructor. By developing the skills needed to steer clear of a car accident, you’ll be able to move from your restricted to a full driving licence six months sooner (or three months if you’re aged over 25 years).

You’ll be able to attend a defensive driving course once you’ve had your learner licence for 4 months (or have had at least 50 hours driving experience), and restricted licence holders can attend as soon as they have their restricted licence.

Even full licence holders benefit from completing the Defensive Driving Course. If you're a police recruit, a court referral, completing a Police Diversion programme or want to refresh your driving knowledge and skill base, you’ve come to the right place.

Note: The final drive assessment is 1 hour and will be conducted on either Wednesday 20th, 27th November or 4th December 9am and 5 pm.

You will be allocated a specific time on these dates at the conclusion of the 4th classroom session. You need to make yourself available for the selected date and time to complete the course. If you cannot make the final drive you will be offered a date the following month.
