    Yeah Roadsafe, hindsight is always 20-20 vision isn't it. I should have asked if the course qualified for the 6R reduction, but didn't. My bad. One shouldn't assume, and I did.

    I do think that the Roadsafe course I did is worth more than the AA defensive driving course if it really only refers to motorbikes as a "moving hazard", and I'm pleased that I did it.

    If there is any disappointment, then it is probably that I'm disappointed in myself for not asking about the 6R reduction at the time, and I felt a fool presenting the Roadsafe certificate when booking my 6R test and being told it wasn't acceptable.

    Roadsafe, are you (and I assume Roadsafe is a franchise, so is the franchise) doing anything to get this course accepted as a license reduction course. Cause that would be the perfect scenario, this fantastic course PLUS the 6R reduction. If you need a testimonial, PM me.

    To be quite honest, after been driving with Class 1 full license for 8 years, going back to do an AA's defensive driving course was surprisingly worthwhile because it made me realise some of the bad habits and laziness that had creep into my day to day driving. One thing I dislike about the course was having to sit in a classroom full of high school students that had no manners and respect.

    I had also done about three motorcycle courses and I have learned many things from all of them. All in all, made me a more vigilant driver/rider on the road.

    p.s. Of course motorcycle is a moving hazard on the road, so are bicycles, animals and pedestrians!
