Defensive/4WD Gravel DrivingRIIVEH201D – Operate a Light Vehicle (4WD)

This accredited course involves a mixture of lecture,demonstrations and in-vehicle driver training toaddress the risks associated with gravel road drivingin remote locations and the additional risksassociated with operating four wheel drives ascompared to passenger vehicles. We have addedadditional content to this course to cover Defensiveand Safe Driving Practices. Practical assessment isconducted on both sealed and unsealed public roads.This course covers:

Theory training covers: Hazard Identification & Risk AvoidanceRoad Law Knowledge Vehicle Operation & ControlJourney Management Reducing distractionsTyre maintenance and inflation Seating position and cabin safety (inc. Load security)Driver Attitude and Behaviour 4WD Limitations and Risks AssociatedFour wheel drive systems (part-time/full-time) Correct engagement and disengagement of High RangeManual and Free-wheeling hubs Transmission wind-upVehicle Technology (ABS, SRS, ESC) Defensive/Low-risk Driving StrategiesFatigue Management Alcohol Impairment (+ Beer Goggles demonstration)

Practical training covers: Braking distances and emergency braking techniquesABS & Braking Techniques (on gravel and tarmac) Accident Avoidance skills (on gravel and tarmac)Low risk driving on unsealed roads Dealing with animal strikes (ie kangaroos)Pre-start vehicle inspections and maintenance Wheel Change Procedure

Things you should check with the training provider:

This course includes a on-road driver assessment as required by the competencies. Some drivertraining providers skip this component and run the risk of failing an audit of their training.

SDT has added extra Defensive Driving content and safety information to exceed the courserequirements. As such participants receive a certificate in Defensive Driving and a Statement ofAttainment for the RIIVEH201D qualification (if found competent in all assessments).

SDT conducts this training with instructor : participant ratios that allow assessments of competencyto be thoroughly undertaken. We have seen some driver training providers have 20 participants andonly 1 instructor on such courses and therefore risk conducting ineffective assessments.

“Regarding the training that you provided to us back in 2008, since the course there have been no accidents as a resultfrom reversing. I can honestly say there has been a marked improvement in accidents altogether. Thanks so much foryour help.” Kym Nunan-Squier, HR Manager, Maroochy RSL Club

“I thought I would let you know that I thought the course that was conducted over the two days this week wasexcellent. The trainers Brendon and Nick were great and really knew what they were on about. In particular, Nick wasawesome, he was very patient with us yesterday (the three of us were quite green when it came to operating 4WD in adefensive way, especially me) and he was very professional.

“Everyone seemed to enjoy the 4WD training days, our instructors were great, very approachable. A few staff membersmentioned that they would like to do another course, maybe something more advanced using mud, slippery surfaces orheavy gravel to take them out of their comfort zone.” Sally Henry, Boggabri Coal Pty Limited

“Everyone was thrilled with the training. Not only was it highly educational and also a lot of fun.” Aimee Munro,Recruitment Specialist, Tarong Energy Corporation

“Just wanted to thank you for organising the two training sessions for us. My understanding is that our staff were verygrateful for the course and advice given etc. They all tell me they got a lot out of it. I personally attended yesterday’ssession. We had Dennis and Graham as our instructors. I am not sure who the instructors were for the first session but Ipersonally found Dennis and Graham very good and supportive of all our efforts. The course was presented very well.Thank you very much.” Ed Sciortino, Financial Controller, Marubeni Power Services

“I did that defensive driving course yesterday and mate all I can say is it was excellent. If there is any way that we asAECOM can get more of our field staff to do it I really think it would add huge value towards keeping our people safer. Itnot only creates awareness of safe driving but targets the bad habits that people fall into. The fact that you get practicalexperience in doing what you are taught really helps. How many people have even felt ABS, let alone how to make a carstop in the most effective way not relying on the ABS. The skills, techniques and information sharing is invaluable and Iwould really recommend it to anyone within our company (especially those at risk in respect of going to site regularly ortravelling large distance). I don’t know what it cost, but I think what we learnt is invaluable. Vaughan Geldenhuis,Transport Network Reconstruction Program, AECOM

“I would just like to say thanks to both yourself and Jamie for all your efforts this last week in bringing all the Instructorsalong in not only their driving skills and knowledge but also their presentational and instructional skills. This will benefitthem all individually as well as the Training department and the Company as a whole. Thanks once again”Frank Sullivan, National Training Development Manager, G4S Security Solutions (PNG) Ltd.

“The (4WD High Range) training went down really well with everyone. It was certainly a valuable exercise that gavepeople an appreciation of vehicle behaviour when under non-standard driving conditions. We will be looking to hold afurther session when we have our site team established. Thank you and I look forward to being in touch again shortly.”Robbie Watt, Senior Safety & Risk Advisor, Origin Energy (Adelaide)

“We have had the first of our two Safe Driving Lecture sessions and I heard our staff in the corridors talking about thistraining, they have especially been commenting on the presenter. They are saying that he is a brilliant presenter, "he isreally passionate about what he is doing" and "knows what he is talking about". Staff have been very positive aboutattending the course. Thanks SDT!!!” Lesley Raetz, AQIS

“This is just a quick response - I'm out at the Surat Basin in the oil and gasfields all week and internet access is limitedand difficult. I had intended to send a thank you and follow-up on the course. From our point of view it was a greatsuccess and met our expectations. Feedback from everyone who attended has also been very positive. And the course,as facilitated by Denis was well done. He was very informative and instructive.” Trevor Love, AUSSAFE

“Approximately a year ago, our entire company attended a defensive driver training course at Willowbank, which was verywell received and it is now part of our policy that all staff members should undergo this course.”Melanie Wright, Condamine Alliance, Toowoomba - Australia

“Firstly, I wish to express our appreciation in your teams professionalism & guidance on Tuesday. Everyone thoroughlyenjoyed themselves, as well as learning lots of important things about driving safely. Your instructors are a credit to yourorganisation. They were all extremely helpful, patient and friendly towards us all. Both groups got heaps out of theday. The Defensive group are already talking about when they will do the Advanced course. The Advanced group arewondering what they can do next?” Peter Moeser, Austrade, Brisbane - Australia

“I would like to let you know that I had a fantastic time on Friday – not only was it informative but also very fun. Ian themain presenter did a fantastic job at making what could have been a very dry subject very interesting, entertaining andeducational. The mix of practical and theory was enjoyable and broke the day up so that most the information will staywith me for a long time. Thanks for organising and well done to whoever chose Safe Drive Training.” Melinda King,Runge Limited, Brisbane – Australia

“Thanks for your training, even the training course was short (2 days), it helped us to have the knowledge about how todrive safety & the attitude when driving also. Your practical lesson was unique for Vietnam, but it was very interesting &useful for us.” ANH, Dao Thi Hong, Air Liquide (Vietnam)

“The feedback has been very positive! Thank you very much for the day I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves”Jessica Collison, Energex, Brisbane – Australia

I thought I was a reasonably safe driver before the course however I feel I ammuch more effective now. Again, many thanks! Jamie Toth, Sentis

“The participants thoroughly enjoyed the training day. Made lots of jokes about everyone’s driving ability and found it verybeneficial for improving their driving skills. Many thanks.” Susan Hunter, BHP Billiton, Brisbane – Australia

“Although I have been driving for the last 30 something years, it was very enlightening and was a great prompt of the badhabits that we have gathered over the period. Learning to drive a lot further in advance of the vehicle than what Ipreviously did was difficult to change but now comes naturally, and skid control if you do get into the situation will be lessof an issue than previously. I recommend this for all Projects and also 4WD for remote sites where we predominately usethe 4WD’s” HSE manager, Ausenco

“The course was well received by all involved. All participants walked away with a better understanding of how our fleetoperate and learnt some new techniques. Thank you to you and your staff on the day. They were very professional andknowledgeable. Thank you for your assistance.” Daniel McGaw, Ergon Energy

“The training went just great. Got some very positive feedback.One thing which has come up repeatedly is how Patient andFriendly your training staff were to everyone. They were able totake those who were very nervous about the driving exercisesand put them at ease and back into control of their fear. Welldone instructors. As the organiser from the Griffith side I mustsay how much I personally appreciated the professionalism andthe assistance of the SDT management. Please pass on mythanks to them all.” Colin England, Griffith University

“Thanks for the recent defensive driving course. All theparticipants reported that the course was both very educationaland enjoyable. You will also be interested to hear that thebusiness group won a WH&S recognition award from Griffith Unifor introducing defensive driving for their staff. Thanks again for agreat course” Scott Burnell, Team Leader, Griffith Uni
