From Basic to Intermediate to Advance Driving ?
-
Many Singapore Drivers are trained in Basic Driving, getting the driving license after six to twelve months, and are put out on the road, to face the traffice in real life with all the accompanying dangers and being a danger to other road users.
The "Triangle" Sign is left to mark his "passage" for the first twelve months of his driving, and no further instructions are given to the New Driver.
Will it not be advisable for further advance driving skills in stages of Intermediate and Advanced Traing be taught?
An Intermediate Defensive Driving Skills Course over a period of 14 to 30 days, can take the form of teaching the "New Driver" to be alert - not by simply paying attention to the immediate surroundings, BUT also to anticipate events.
This course can be done by Virtual Computer Aided Equipment, much like what the SAF Driving School is using.
Advance Driving Course can teach the "Intermediate Skill Driver" how to improve his driving skills to overcome emergency situations - such as getting out of a skid, avoiding serious collissions, part of the training from "evasive driving skills".
The Advance Driving Course can be taught by Computer Aided Equipment, with practical driving to put the skills into real experience behind the wheel and in actual skid situation.
Similar course can be conducted for the two wheelers as well.
This could make the Singapore roads safer for all users. -
agreed 
is there something like that available? -
The present Driving Schools seems to offer some program concerning "Intermediate Level" driving after Basic Course, but nothing for "Advance Driving".
There are some Motor Clubs that offer such courses to their members, such as the "Porsche Owner's Club" that conduct regular course on the finer points of driving the Porsche to get the best performance from this car.
Otherwise, this could be the start of a new business.
Will any one pay for such a course, especially when it is not required for obtaining a license ? -
