FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the REAL FATAL 4?
Safe Drive Training developed the Real Fatal 4 Factors in Novice Driver Crashes in 1999. It is our belief these 4 factors are the underlying reason why so many novice drivers are killed on Australian roads.
- OVERCONFIDENCE
- RISK-TAKING
- INEXPERIENCE
- PEER INFLUENCE
|
 |
Whilst certain vehicle control skills might assist in the seconds before an impact, the Real Fatal 4 Factors are behaviours which create the dangerous situation in the first place. Empowering novice drivers to understand these factors can assist with better decisions minutes (not seconds) before the potential crash. |

How do schools enrol in the Safe Drive Test Drive Course?
At least 2 months before the course date, Safe Drive Training will send your school an enrolment kit, which includes stocks of brochures and enrolment forms for students.
How do students enrol?
Please download our Enrolment Form:
2023 STUDENT ENROLMENT FORM
Your school might need to modify these forms under the following circumstances:
- if you want to collect all monies at the school (and not have students paying SDT directly or by cheques)
- if you are making this a GST exempt school excursion
- if you have funding/subsidy from sponsors, parents committees or local community organization (Lions, Apex, Rotary)
Students from participating schools should return the enrolment form and full payment to the course coordinator at your school (unless instructed otherwise).
Does the course count towards logbook hours?
Amazingly, Queensland Transport does not recognize attendance at any defensive/advanced driving courses as counting towards the 100 hours of logbook experience required by L-plate drivers. Therefore the hours of essential driving theory and practical skills training undertaken at this course cannot be credited towards your logbook hours. Participants at this course will be asked to sign a petition to change this decision.
