Course 2
The “Drive Forever” course is designed as an extension course to follow on from the “Drive to Survive” course or as a refresher course.
It expands on the skills already learned on course 1 and has more emphasis on the practical driving skills with an approximate 60/40 practical to classroom ratio.
The exercises require more space than the Drive to Survive course and can only be run safely at selected venues.
There is a safety requirement that drivers must have completed the “Drive to Survive” (Course 1) course within 3 years.
