A driver training course will drill-in skills so that you do’t need to think about what to do all the time. When your attention isn’t stuck on the basics of driving you are freed up to be far more aware of what’s around you.
Basic driving skills are essential to living in most of today’s society and a driver training course is usually the fastest way to pick these up. Particularly in Australia, where distances are so great, families and friends are often hundreds or thousands of miles apart, and most people will drive huge distances to catch up with each other. And modern, Western cities are generally car-based, with public transport coming second place.

Most beginner car drivers are both excited and anxious at the same time about learning how to drive, right from the start. They are either taught by a professional driving instructor or by relatives, and concentrate on the basic skills needed to control the car, and the rules that they have to observe while on the road.

At some point they will need to pass a test set by an accredited authority so that they can become licensed. But getting your license shouldn’t be the end of a person’s driver training.
