About

Our Mission

Our mission is simple. We aim to assist anyone wanting to learn to drive, or anyone embarking on a refresher course, to become competent and safe drivers. We also foster drivers who can read road conditions, think ahead, and strategize the best and safest way to navigate road hazards. We focus on nurturing intuitive driving, good behaviour, and road etiquette in our students through sound tutoring and mentoring.

Insurance

We carry full vehicle insurance as well as ‘Professional Indemnity Cover.’ In the event of an accident caused by the client/student, we expect payment of the insurance excess by that person.

Road Traffic Infringements

In the case of a road traffic infringement, if the fault lies with the client/student, the expiation notice will be forwarded to them for payment and prosecution of the offence.

In-Car Camera Systems

For the safety and security of our clients, all training vehicles are equipped with a ‘Dash Cam’ that records footage of the occupants and the front view of the vehicle.
