Low-risk driving is your ability to minimise driving risk. Whilst we understand that you can never have ‘0-risk’ on the road, at Autogear Driving School, our aim is to teach you to be the safest driver on the road. This is why our industry-leading driving instructors in Chatswood aim to instil a defensive-minded driving approach on all our students.
Through our individually structured lesson plans, we work with our students to not only equip them with the necessary road safety knowledge but also enhance their driving skills to make them more prepared when responding to road hazards – This might be through speed management techniques, road positioning, parking/pulling out and general decision-making skills behind the wheel.
During our initial assessment, we observe each student’s level of skill and techniques. Some of the main techniques which we assess, and are also assessed in your driving exam include how you scan the road, whether you check for blind spots, how you respond to hazards and how you position yourself on the road.
These fundamental skills needed to be trained and then practised correctly, especially if you are taking your driving test at the Chatswood NSW Service Centre – where road conditions change constantly due to school zones with varied speed limits and changing traffic conditions. At Autogear Driving School in Chatswood, our objective is to prepare you to be comfortable driving in any condition. As a truly local driving school servicing Sydney’s Lower North Shore for over 10 years our knowledge of the roads is unparalleled. Our driving instructors in Chatswood focus on some key roads such as the Pacific Highway in Chatswood and Mowbray Road, as practice grounds for our students. This not familiarises our students with their local routes, but also equips them with advanced skills due to having practised in some of Sydney’s busiest roads.
