Q. Q. Why two days for DDC01 & 02?Why two days for DDC01 & 02?

A. The course aims to influence driver attitude and behaviour through a combination of classroom based tutorials and in-car practical experience with a professional Driving Instructor. This can NOT be achieved in 1 day.

Note: The course is once-off. There is no 3-yearly refresher but an annual assessment drive taking approximately 2 hrs.

Q. Q. Why are DDC01 & 02 only available in Muscat?Why are DDC01 & 02 only available in Muscat?

A. It is only in the Capital Area that traffic conditions allow real experience of applying defensive driving techniques. This maximises the learning value for the participants.


Dec/01 19

Q.Q. I’ve been driving for twenty years and never had an accident. I’ve been driving for twenty years and never had an accident. What can this course teach me? What can this course teach me?

A. The course focuses on the attitude/behaviour & techniques necessary to avoid road traffic accidents. This requires drivers to change their mindset. Many “experienced” drivers come to the course and fail (ca 10%) because their behaviour & technique is very poor. Everyone will learn from the course: they will become better defensive drivers.

Q.Q. My PDO Driving Permit expires in March 2002. My PDO Driving Permit expires in March 2002. When should I do the course?When should I do the course?

A. ASAP (but before expiry of the old “graded” PDO permit). All drivers under 25 must do the course by 1/July/02. Permits due to expire after 1/July/03 are cut short by 1 year !! If a permit expires on 1/Sept/03 this becomes 1/Sept/02
