Safe Drive Training maintains a fleet of training cars across the Asia-Pacific region.
This includes new and older cars, front and rear wheel drive cars, manual and automatic cars, cars deliberately fitted with bad tyres, cars with high performance tyres, cars with old suspension and cars with enhanced suspension.
New cars are supplied under sponsorship arrangements with various manufacturers, who are keen to have participants test drive their cars and to enhance their driving skills.
These vehicles are supplied for all participants attending the SAFE DRIVE TEST DRIVE High school/young driver safety programs. This gives novice drivers an opportunity to sample a cross-section of vehicles which are setup for particular learning outcomes. Whilst it might be exciting to attend a driving course and access a new car supplied by a prestige manufacturer which is equipped with all of the latest safety innovations, this training might be of little benefit if the participant's real drive vehicle has none of these features (or has inferior tyres, older suspension, no ABS). For this reason we aim to supply a diverse range of vehicles setup if different ways.
In addition these vehicles are available for hire for Corporate Days or are used for our instructors to provide demonstrations or for Company Fleet participants to compare with their own work-supplied vehicle.
