Why should you attend a defensive driving course? Whether you are on your learner or restricted license, you will still reduce the time taken to gain your full license by 6 months.

Yes, you can drive yourself on a restricted license – but only at certain times or with an experienced driver. You cannot take your family, or your friends anywhere. You cannot be on the road between 10pm and 5am without risking fines, demerit points or being uninsured if something happens. It is for your own safety, but wouldn’t it be great to reduce months off this time as well as making yourself safer on our roads?
