Toyota Gazoo Racing Driving Academy – become a better driver

Even though you may have had your driver’s license for years, it does not particularly mean that you are the safest driver.

According to Motorpress, there is always room for improvement and to brush up on your driving skills. 

There are many reasons why an advanced driver training course is necessary, for us to control our vehicles in different and scary situations. 

Toyota South Africa has recognised our diverse nation that has their own variety of driving conditions and scenarios, such as off-road trails, highways, high crime zones and open roads.

Toyota SA has announced that the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Driving Academy is now open for business. 

Those who would like to partake in this can choose from one of eight courses or a combination. These include advanced defensive driving, collision avoidance, gravel/dirt road training, defensive driving and traffic psychology, advanced 4×4 & recovery, on-road/off-road driving (4×2/4×4), dynamic handling and hijack prevention.

The TGR Driving Academy is headquartered in Johannesburg and Gauteng, but its courses are offered nationwide. 

“We truly believe that anyone who holds a driver’s licence should, at the very least, attend an Advanced Defensive and Collision Avoidance course as this builds confidence and the skills required to drive on local roads. With SA being one of the most dangerous countries to drive in, safety is our number one concern – so, we also equip our attendees to best cope with not only the ever-changing road conditions, but also how to adjust one’s mindset to cope with the aggressive nature of fellow road users. I would also advise drivers to do refresher courses at least once a year,” says Managing Director, Paul De Vos.
