Good on you Jen! It is very positive to hear that the NZTA has been receptive in regards to providing a beneficial alternative to the basic defensive drivers course for more mature audiences.

Finished the last theory evening of the first Nelson based "Street Talk" defensive riding/driving course tonight.. & it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be!!!

There were 2 motorcyclists (who have been through Roadsafe's training for their learner/restricted licence) & 4 car drivers, incl 3 teenagers.

I am very happy to report that their feedback was all extremely positive!! They all commented on how much they had learned, especially being aware of themselves & what's going on around them at all times.. & hazard observation & avoidance!

They all have a 1 hour practical session to do to complete the course now.. (which is a mock full licence run) where they will get assessed & coached on the correct skills required to pass the test criteria successfully.

Being a qualified riding & driving instructor, I bought a lot of motorcycle related examples into the course.. so now.. there are 4 more car drivers out there who are very much more aware of motorcycles!!!

Next course starts June 17th!!! pass it on!!

I must ask this, what is the diff of this 'benefical alternative' over and above a defensive drivers course?
