 Protective Driving (Evasive Driving)

Develop a conditioned response! In these dangerous times of escalating threats, ambushes, and road crashes, security must be a priority and the minimal cost to obtain it must be understood as a critical investment in survival.

In this best-selling, intensive “situation-specific” driving course, you will develop threat recognition and protective /evasive driving skills; learn to successfully identify, avoid, and /or counter the threat. This training takes place on sealed and unsealed roads.

You will learn to handle your 4wd on different surfaces; so, no matter what the conditions, you will react quickly and effectively to get out alive. When targeted you will mostly encounter incidents when driving your 4wd on an unsealed road surface, where your best skills will be required to keep you and your passengers safe.
