Driver Dynamics: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed the day at Sandown - very informative and both Richard & Gavin were top of their game. The course caters to all drivers - beginners through to oldies ( like me age 73). . It’s true - you’re never too old to learn. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: We attended the Defensive Driving Course with Driver Dynamics in Sandown and it was absolutely fantastic!!!! Learning the basics of safety whilst giving drivers confidence and the skills if something goes wrong. What an investment, wish it was compulsory and government supported for all our drivers. The team were knowledgeable, fun, supportive and clearly very very experienced and made everyone feel comfortable. - Definitely inflate the tyres as asked - it’s for safety and you’ll learn about it. - Lunch is close enough however there is an inside area to sit and eat what you bring. - absolutely arrive on time otherwise others have to wait - L plates require a parent - you need your own car IT IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!!! Thank you! We’ll be back with the next L plater
Fantastic experience: Our car club had a track day at Sanddown and it was run by Driver Dynamics, who are a great team of enthusiastic guys. You can start with an optional quick track introduction (they drive you around in their own car) to explain the best lines, positioning on the track and potential dangers. This occurs before any of the track sessions begin. You can select a group that suits your preferred pace (Slow, Intermediate, Fast). The morning pre-drive briefing was both entertaining and informative. They promote safe practices (ie. no overtaking in corners) and place cones on each corner to mark the recommended entry and apex points. There were clear announcements for each group/session and we enjoyed multiple 20 minute sessions throughout the day. Would definitely go again.
Fantastic experience: Such an incredible crew! Kev, Rich and Gav are absolute superstars! These guys provide so much information and insight for road users it is insane. The teaching styles of these three guys is extremely thorough, easy to understand, provide supportive guidance and knows their audience. A must for every single person wanting to learn how to: A) properly drive your car B) stop and brake when required C) conduct track training at Sandown D) increase knowledge and confidence Just do yourself a massive favour and do this course.
Fantastic experience: Amazing course, I had a lot of fun! Awesome instructor, Kevin! I can still hear your voice, Break, Break, Break! Lol
Fantastic experience: I had an exceptional experience during the junior driving experience level one here. I had Ben the instructor and he is very knowledgeable, helpful and funny. I learnt so much from him and am very grateful for it. I highly recommend the junior driving experience
Fantastic experience: Doing this course is a must, even if you think you have good control of a vehicle, you get some good practice and doing it in a manual is even better for learners with some good stopping and starting practice. The theoretical side of it was informative, funny and engaging, well worth the time!
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Ben the instructor was super helpful and great to talk to. Learnt a lot and had lots of fun.
Fantastic experience: Went through the course today. I am 39yo and I learnt so much. I've raced in Simulators, I think I'm a hotshot driving a fast car, but I can tell you that when it comes to real life situations, I sucked at them and made lots of mistakes. These guys are an absolute wealth of knowledge and experience. The things they teach you, could save your life and others. They cover a lot of the things we see daily and put it into real world practice where you have to avoid obstacles and "Kenny the Cone". I had a blast, and I was super stoked to see lots of P platers and a couple of L platers doing the course, it will make them better drivers going forward. I recommend this course to anyone, no matter your age.
Fantastic experience: A- MAZ- ING!!!!!!! Absolutely fantastic team. Above and beyond what we expected. Mum and Learner driver. Highly recommend to all!!!!!
Fantastic experience: It's clear the team has been doing this for a while, as the day ran like a well-oiled machine, which was definitely appreciated, given the large number of participants. The classroom component was super informative and engaging, thanks in no small part to the polished, enthusiastic delivery by Dave. He's clearly passionate about driver training and the fact that it can, and does, save lives, and that really shone through during the presentation. Just the right blend of PowerPoint stats and video content, and managed to tailor the content to ensure relevance to the mix of L & P Platers, Male and Female, old and young, very very well. Thank you, Dave! The practical exercises were also phenomenal. Brett and the team were super clear in setting up the scenarios that we'd be practicing, and the feedback provided after each run was invaluable, as I managed to reduce my stopping distance significantly over the course of the day, and took away that as our lives get busier and busier and we're more and more distracted while driving, the importance of giving yourself and others physical space on the road, that, in turn, gives you the mental space you need to think clearly in the event of an emergency situation. Thank you Brett for an amazing day! A massive thanks to the entire team at Driver Dynamics for an extremely well-organised, informative, and phenomenal learning experience. Since getting my license 25-odd years ago, it has been on the list of things to do, but life got in the way and I just never got around to it. Better late than never, but if you're thinking of doing this course, don't put it off. The content and exercises allow you to learn the techniques that could keep you and your loved ones alive, in a safe, non-judgmental environment, where you're encouraged to see mistakes as a learning opportunity. This should be a compulsory learning requirement for all learner and P plate drivers, and at every licence renewal for fully licensed drivers, and a course that I will absolutely recommend to all my family and friends.
Fantastic experience: All I can say is what an amazing experience. Both my kids 12 and 16 years olds have walked away with so much confidence. I recommend this course to all kids and think that these courses should be compulsory. Thank you so much to everyone at Junior Driving Experience. Amazing!!!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic Defensive Driving Level 1 Course! Thanks Gavin for a funny, engaging and informative day. I got it as a birthday present, and it was incredibly useful! I'm now a lot more confident about handling emergency situations in my car. I personally would recommend this course for anyone and everyone, although I'd say not for brand new Learners - you'll get more out of the course if you have some driving experience already. I'm definitely no expert but I'd say 40-60 hours driving at least, because by then the learner would be able to handle the car movements and would have a gauge of other drivers on the road, but would also be early enough in driving experience to change some behaviours for the better as a result of this course. For those trying to decide which course to do for your needs, keep in mind that level 1 defensive driving does not include dirt manoeuvres (I think it is covered in level 2 advanced driving), but focuses on wet road emergency braking and swerving as well as exercises to practice control of the car (pairing your vision with steering and car movement, noticing your reaction time, proper driver position in the car etc). Both the theory and practical sections of the course are jam-packed with useful and applicable information and are for both ABS and non-ABS fitted cars.
Fantastic experience: Level 1 at Sandown was an excellent experience. I feel a lot more confident behind the wheel.
Fantastic experience: Informative and fast paced. Loved the theory and practical applications. Wished I had done it BEFORE teaching our kids to drive.
Fantastic experience: YOU GOTTA DO THIS!! Worth your money, awesome experience! I completed Level 1 Defensive driving course on my red Ps and I learnt so much about handling my car in emergency situations. The instructors were super friendly and enthusiastic which made the day lots of fun. You’re put to the test with braking, skidding and swerving on a wet surface as well as classroom theory. If you’re thinking of doing it, highly recommend! I’m considering going back and doing Level 2 after todays experience.
Fantastic experience: Best experience at level 1 defensive driving. Instructors so knowledgeable and I can’t believe how much fun learning driving safety was.
Fantastic experience: Always a great track day out with Kev and the team, really enjoy your days and I learn a lot each time. Thanks and I’ll see you at the next one.
Fantastic experience: Level 1 defence driver course is a must do for all L platers!! Why its not not compulsory for all Learner's is beyond me! Dave and the team were fantastic. My daughter learnt so much (and me) we will be back next year for my son to do
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience and fantastic value for money. We had smiles on our faces from the moment we met Leanne who checked us in. Our group of 6 girls on an adventure weekend could not have asked for a better start to our weekend. Thank you to all involved - we had a ball
Fantastic experience: Defensive driving course was very helpful, i would reccomend this to anyone, especially P - Platers
Fantastic experience: What a great day for myself and my 17 year old daughter (driving). The defensive course and Dave are FANTASTIC!!!! Full of great information, instruction and safety advice. Recommended for everyone to use!!!!! This course should be mandatory for all drivers!!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome course, super high and fun energy, will really help you push your limits. Everyone should do this course, amazing insight. Thanks guys!
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my time with Dave and Gavin – great value for your money and wonderful instructors. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: MUST DO!! I thought it was amazing! Everything was scheduled so we can understand the theory part and practical part of this training. I learned so much about my driving skills. I actually wished I had done it earlier. I think it actually should be compulsory. The look on our faces when we saw what "3 seconds between us and the car in front of us" meant really changed the way we saw our driving and possible accidents. Especially after doing 55kms, 60kms, 65kms and 70kms and seeing how fast something can occur and how long it takes for our brakes/car to stop and avoid the collision if we are lucky enough to avoid it. That was something that definitely left us all speechless. I found myself driving back home and applying everything since then. Thank you so much for everything!
Fantastic experience: Great experience
Fantastic experience: Professional operation. Dazza was a great instructor, and most importantly I walked away feeling like I was a better driver and money well spent. I've been driving for 33 years but picked up some good skills and learned what my car was capable of in emergency stop situations.
Fantastic experience: I brought my Learner driver to a defensive driving course and it was absolutely fantastic. The information and experience were invaluable and life saving
Fantastic experience: It was such a great course! Thank goodness ahah! I learnt so much. Thanks Kevin and David!
Fantastic experience: Fab day at Sandown with this crew. Very good, practical approach to safety, streaming groups by experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my first track day. Wide variety of cars and punters. Newbie Tip: It's worth tapping an instructor on the shoulder and asking them to go around with you for a few laps. I got 3-4 great tips that I built on over the next few rounds on the track. Looking at their other courses for kids and keen to come back for myself.
Fantastic experience: My daughter loved it. Great instructors and great fun as well as learning about road safety. All the tailgaters should go and do the course before they hurt some innocent person. Furthermore, to all parents. Take your kids there.
Fantastic experience: TOP day! Did corporate track day 25/1/19, very well organised, great team, excellent education which took my driving to new level (special thanks to Dave).
Fantastic experience: Completed their Level 1 Defensive Driving course! Greatly instructed and great facilities.
Fantastic experience: Did a High Performance Track Day today at Sandown with the team from Drive Dynamics. One of the most amazing days. Well organised, lots of fun, great people, and very SAFE! Definitely coming back. Keep up the good work! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I’ve done two courses now and both were insanely fun! Instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. The skills and information learnt is very relevant to day to day driving and an empowering experience. It’s fantastic being able to drive your own car and learn how you can handle it in unpredictable situations on the road. Highly recommend defensive driving courses with driver dynamics to everyone! Fun day out.
Fantastic experience: All the instructors were knowledgeable, fun and great teachers. Best day out, well worth your money from the knowledge and experience gained. Don't use any other company for a defensive driving course
Fantastic experience: Totally awesome experience. Both there Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Gallardo are beautifully presented and the nicest cars in town available to experience. They are both rocket ships and so easy to drive. Great fun day and I highly recommend!!
