Description

Street Wise Driving

MSA-South Africa facilitates driver training with the necessary skills to operate a vehicle in a safe and responsible manner on public roads. It also focuses on facilitating change of a mind set and attitude of a driver.

The basis of all the training programs is theoretical in-class sessions where aspects such as basic mechanics and dynamics of vehicles, driver fatigue, alcohol, responsibility and attitudes of drivers are discussed.

The lecture is followed by practical defensive on-road driving which covers driving on urban and suburban roads after which drivers are exposed to a range of scenarios that require them to be in control of their vehicles in sudden changing road conditions.

Advanced driving course

The objective of our course is to create a more confident, alert and courteous driver by improving your general levels of awareness and skills. Confidence is established by improving your skills and increasing your level of understanding through practical guidance.

Alertness is created through an anticipative and defensive state of mind enabling you to respond in the correct instinctive manner to any hazardous driving situation. Courteousness is developed by recognizing your own and other vehicles limitations in a controlled environment.

Your training with Magnum Shooting Academy will deal extensively with real world defensive driving scenarios.

Skidpan Training

Driver error is the reason for skids or loss of traction occurring. The first exercise covered is aquaplaning on the dynamic circular track.

This is a necessity as the number of accidents increases with rain and wet road conditions.
