NRMA's Safer Driving program is a comprehensive educational program that covers all aspects of practical driving in a logical, easy-to-absorb way.

The program is unique in that it follows a progressive and logical learning path including real-world driving practice .

2. Suitable locations: To provide a range of learning environments suitable to the topics being taught, so you progress with confidence.
3. Lesson topics: Covering a range of skills you’ll need on the road including vehicle control, road rules and low risk driving techniques.

You'll learn over 40 essential and unique driving skills; from braking efficiently to reading heavy traffic, night driving and crash avoidance. You have every opportunity for practice, questions, explanations and feedback during your lessons.
