About This Course

In Africa over 90% of road fatalities are attributed to human error and studies show 93% of drivers believe they are better than the average driver. Therefore 43% of drivers overestimate their driving skills or lack of them. It is clear the skill levels of most road users are the main cause of this grave situation. The annual loss from road traffic crashes is about 3% of global GDP. For example the Kenyan economy lost a staggering 2.9 trillion shillings in 2019 when 3,572 people died on the road. More lives are lost to road fatalities than to terrorism and corona virus.

Many drivers admit that they barely knew how to drive properly when they acquired a driving license. In most driving schools barely any student fails the driving test, this is not statistically possible! The biggest danger therefore is that even if you are a good driver, you share the road with many others who are not. Almost every road user has been involved in a road accident, most have lost colleagues, relatives or community members. Too many livelihoods, destinies and careers of many people we know have been needlessly ended by a single wrong decision on the road. Our target learners include personal car drivers, corporate drivers, school vehicle drivers, taxi drivers, truck drivers, PSV drivers, riders, passengers & pedestrians.

The Defensive driving e-course by Advanced Mobility is for organizations and individuals keen to empower themselves and reduce their road mobility risk. After years of carrying out in-person training on defensive driving, this e-course was designed to equip you with the key skills & knowledge at your pace & convenience. This quality training will give you improved safety and peace of mind.

You will learn among many things:

• The law of safety
• The 6 critical road safety factors
• Fundamentals of defensive driving
• Key human performance principles
• Physical forces while driving
• Hazard perception skills
• Overtaking and emergency maneuvers
• Vehicle and tyre maintenance
• A mandatory quiz for successful e-course completion
• A day of physical practical training with vehicles

Defensive driving is often mistaken for security driving. Defensive driving is driving to save lives, time & money, despite the conditions around you and the actions of others. Security driving is having the skill and knowledge to move from one point to another in a secure manner through a variety of potentially insecure environments

LEARNING PROCESS/TARGET GROUP

1.A) This is an advanced driving course, which means you need to already have a valid driving license and minimum 2 years driving experience to take the full course including practicals.

  B) However road users without a driving license or not within Kenya can take the e-course only without the practical session, they will get an e-certificate of completion after passing the assessment quiz at the end of the course.

2. After passing the assessment quiz at the end of the course, the learner will get a calendar link to book for the practicals. The practical driving sessions are challenging enough to stretch the experienced driver yet simple enough to cater for the new driver. A valid driving license must be presented on the day of the practicals.

3.If a learner has their own vehicle in good condition they are encouraged to bring it for the practical. The practical session with your regular vehicle is easier than when on a vehicle being experienced for the first time.

4.If a learner fails to show up for a booked practical session, they will need to pay a rebooking fee of Ksh 1,000.
