Hi All,
As many of you know I'm all for driver education rather than revenue raising in an attempt to lower the road toll. The Alfa Romeo Owners Club of Australia runs two driver education days per year. Normally we run this in conjunction with a more advanced racecraft day. We have the advantage of being able to run both simultaneously as we use the Winton motor raceway, one part for driver education, the other for race craft.
Anyway, we have enough entries for the racecraft side, but for some reason are running low on entries for the driver education side.
Driver Education or Safety is aimed at the teenage drivers, Learner, P-plate drivers and in fact any driver, the course will show the driver various aspects of heavy braking, swerving in various conditions, use of ABS (braking) and ESC (control) of their car. It is a great way to take on road experiences that you can not practice on the public road and be able to use these techniques when you have to under emergency conditions. All members with teenage drivers are encouraged to participate. Cost is minimal and well worth it for the experience.
Our entry fee for this is normally $120, but because we are short we have dropped this to $50. If anyone out there in the Benalla region (2.5 hrs North of Melbourne) who would like to participate then contact me
