16 Dec 2025 Free Advanced Driver Training – NP Racecourse
The 2025 Roadsafe Taranaki Advanced Driver Training weekend is here again, being held at Pukekura Raceway in New Plymouth on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th January.
The course is an advanced driver training day with a focus on what to do in an emergency (usually not covered when you learn to drive).
The course includes:
- Short road code quiz,
- Thought provoking road safety video’s,
- Interactive activities,
- We also have the two practical sessions:
- Emergency braking (keeping control in an emergency),
- Cornering (understanding understeer and oversteer) and how to correct yourself if you make a mistake taking a corner (slalom type course).
The course will take approximately 2 hours to complete (depends on how long you talk to some of our amazing volunteers and experts).
The course is aimed at Learner or Restricted drivers, but also inexperience drivers or those that want to learn a new skill. The course is free but bookings are essential as there is limited spaces available per day.
