Default AHG defensive driving course

For purchasing my WRX from subaru osborne park, they gave me 2 free AHG defensive driving level 1 courses.
I was wondering how good these are? obviously it cant hurt to do it but yeh...

Any info would be great

Pawel

good incentive and system... they teach you emergency braking in wet and dry conditons a 50/50 drop of theory and practical exercises. Overall a great chance for the driver to improve on awareness when driving on aussie roads!

they sometimes run out of the invites. i had to request they use an old one and get the manager to sign away. i would go to dealership with bill of sale and request some form of paper proof of a driving course. i thought it was mandatory for anyone under 25 to get this for free?

Its a good thing to get to know your car a little better as well. The level 1 is done in your car, whereas the levels after that are in the safety-spec Aurions. All very worth while though i think.

When i did one they put down heaps of water so it is real slippery, so i didnt get any flat spots, though the wear is nowhere like a real track day. I love replacing tyres
