The Murcotts Defensive Driving Approach

Each year, more than 15,000 people—corporate staff and private drivers—complete Murcotts’ Defensive Driver Training across Australia. Our programs deliver skills and insights that go well beyond licensing requirements.

Effective driver education changes behaviour, and that depends on the quality of the learning experience. Casual, everyday driving doesn’t build safer habits, and even experienced drivers are involved in crashes. Research consistently shows that structured, experiential learning is the most effective way to improve driver safety.

Murcotts focuses on adult learning principles to shift attitudes and build safer habits. Many drivers believe they are above‑average and attribute incidents to external factors, so our programs first build insight before new behaviours can take hold.
