Those little dings and dents on your car really do add up when you go to fix them. In this course, you’ll learn simple tips and tricks that you can put into immediate practice to reduce the risk of damaging your vehicle, whether it’s your own pride and joy, or one you drive for work.
We’re going to cover techniques you’ve probably never been taught, techniques that advanced drivers use to avoid clumsy low-speed crashes.
If you’re a driver that dreads backing into a driveway or avoids reversing into a parking space by driving around and around until you find a space you can drive into forwards, we’re going to give you the knowledge and skills to give you the confidence to take on these challenges.
You’ll learn how to parallel park, reverse into a bay park, minimise your blind spots, reverse up a driveway, do 3-point turns, and back around a corner and in a straight line with and without a trailer. We’ll cover the pros and cons of reversing cameras and how to deal with the most hazardous parking situation: the multi-storey car park.
With even simple dent removal and repairs costing hundreds of dollars, you'll find this course will pay for itself many times over.
