Overview
Advanced hazard-perception and safe-driving courses.
This guide covers what to expect, how many lessons learners typically need, what to look for in a great instructor, and typical costs — so you can choose defensive driving with confidence.
💡
Learner tip
Ask whether the instructor offers the Keys2drive free first lesson and book a single lesson before buying a package — it's the best way to see if the instructor suits you.
What to look for
A current state driving instructor licence / accreditation.
A dual-control car, and the transmission you want to learn in (auto or manual).
Clear per-lesson and package pricing, and patient communication with learners and parents.
