DriveNZ is health and safety conscious.
We strive to provide an enjoyable and educational driving experiences in a safe, controlled environment.
DriveNZ follows New Zealand Health & Safety Act 2015 protocols at all times. Alongside teaching basic knowledge in awareness and understanding of vehicle dynamics pertaining to everyday situations faced on our roads, we balance this with enjoyable and engaging course content where all drivers have an input, to ensure our participants get the most benefit possible from the experience.
Our goal is to help all of our drivers to improve their overall attitude and skill level to play their part in reducing general risk on New Zealand roads, by focussing on:
- a better attitude to driving
- improved car control
- an understanding of skid control
- an overall better practical understanding of defensive driving principals
- an improved ability to assess and deal with potential hazards as we drive
- a better understanding of the technology built into today’s vehicles and how that technology can help us when things go a bit pear shaped
