LiFe Occasional Poster Registered: July 2002	Re: Advanced Driver Training Thu, 09 January 2003 13:34 I went to the Ian Luff driving school (Motivation Australia). ph: 9829 5399. Was held in that race thingo (in a side bit of it) just south of sydney. Stage 1 is required before you can do any other stage and covers the basics that most excelent drivers will already know but it gives you experience actually doing the theory. Stage 2 is advanced car control and is more of stage one but at higher speeds, more hands on, more sitting in the car with the wheel turned sharply and your foot down hard skidding all over the place. Stage 3 is intro racing and is held on the racing track. I know you have to do 1 before 2 or 3 but I forget if you need to do 2 before you do 3. It was a bit expensive but they cover everything in depth. I did it ages ago so I can't remember it all but with Stage 1 half is theory in the classroom and half is being instructed on the runway. The driving is very enjoyable and the thoery isn't boring. It is a loooong day, and you can't really take friends cause you spend the day in the car. (and you're not allowed passenger - they'd learn for free! : ) I think it made a difference to my driving and I implement almost all their advice at all times. The skid control training is invaluable, the problem is one hopes one will do it like you did in the lessons when it strikes unexpectedly, in the rain and dark on an unfamilure road! The only thing I dissagree with was their ideas behind driving with two feet. They reccomended it because when someone is doing something wierd up ahead you can accelerate slowly but touch the brake so your lights come on to warn people behind you of a possible emergency stop. My opinion is, in that case take your foot off the fucking accelerator and hover over the damn brakes. There is middle ground to breaking and accelerating: It's called Rolling and it's very effective. There are too many cases when I'm driving behind a taxi and the bastard uses two feet and he keep bumping the brakes over every bump and his lights are light a bloody disco. You can never trust when they're slowing down or not! Awefull to drive behind! Anyway - any questions then post! LiFe. [Report message to a moderator]
