Sitting in a 60 min class with the educators from Drive Alive and an Instructor from the BMW Driving Experience revealed the fact that our South African roads aren’t safe. The reasons are vast with many variables responsible for the accidents and collision rates reported. The important lesson to take home from the driving experience are the passive and active skills left with you as your prize.

Following the informative visual lecture was a one-on-one session with a highly skilled BMW Driving Experience teacher. He began by introducing you to the car, one of many 335i’s which will be replaced with the high performance M3 sedan. Eye-opening are the things you take for granted, like: finding the perfect seating position, learning to use the correct angles of the road for optimal road grip, managing to maintain smooth linear movements while travelling at high speed – again for optimised handling and control of the vehicle and to understand how by breaking or accelerating you shift the weight of the car and essentially unbalance it.

Driving fast sounds like fun but not when you don’t know what you’re doing - other than accelerating aggressively and trying to manage the cars loss of traction around a bend as a result. Knowledge really is power – once you learn the principles of manoeuvring the car you become closer friends- and as a result a mutual respect blossoms and an understanding of how to optimise the relationship.

A slip and slide session is conducted on the skid pad. The Collision avoidance and skid Control course is conducted in M135i, a fun and potent hatchback to experience lower speed skids and the skills to overcome these skids.
