Having more experience at anything is always an advantage. Knowing what to do in difficult circumstances - how to avoid accidents and "train" your reflexes is almost a MUST these days!
1) The way Taxi's drive in Cape Town you need top driving skills to cut them off or know when a strategic withdraw is in order (it's a fine line).
2) I often find that people don't understand that the white lines in parking spaces indicate the area INSIDE of which you need to park, so it would be most handy to be able to handbrake turn into those hard to park parallel spaces.
1)I just bought myself a fast car that allows me to do things that require advanced driving
2)I do a lot of long distance driving, so I feel that the advanced driving would help me with the journeys
3)I do a lot of driving in other countries, so I would find this very helpful in driving more protectively there, as there are some interesting quirks that each country seems to have with regards to thier driving and interpretations of laws.
I live in Cape Town. Most drivers on the road are just down right crazy would maybe be able to avoid them if i did this plus what fun i could have on the skid pad
will have to use this next time to try and avoid the drunk driver who jumped the red robot and crashed into me...
my beloved runX is now resting in car heaven ;(
Done this course. I'd recommend it, though I'd prefer a more advanced driving course. For the average road user, this would be valuable. At least they'd check their mirrors and get out of my way a little sooner.
If this entry wins, it'll go to the GF (her driving is fine, but the course has some 'good to know' stuff)
I have always wanted to do an advanced driving course to know the do's and do not's when it comes to driving on our ever increasingly busy and dangerous roads.
I just got myself a 350z less than two weeks ago. Jumped straight from a 1.4l RunX front wheel drive to the 3.5l V6 rear wheel drive. Lots of fun so far. This course will help me tame this beast of a beast. I also stay less than a kilometre from the Killarney track
