What's meant by Advanced driving?
Advanced driving is not simply about driving fast and dealing with skids. It is about personal
pride in driving to advanced standards, thinking about what you are doing while driving and controlling the vehicle you are
in charge of. Many names had been utilised in the past to refer to it, from Thinking Driving, Defensive Driving to the more
recent Eco-safe driving. It is all relatively the same thing – Focus, Observation, Planning and Response. Find
