8 hours of theory was the one i did by jaric in curepe and it cut my insurance by half as i was a male less than 25 and a short driving history........Do it!!!

it really gives pointers if you are a new driver that you might take years to acquire. i think there is a tuner here who teaches but i cant remember his name right now

colfire but never had to actually use their services so i cant really say how they are if something actually happens,they give reminders by text and normal bill before it is time for renewal and thy actually have a way to renew online with credit card which i will be trying in a week or so when its time for me to renew but as one of the bigger insurance agents i assume in time of need they will pull through

This course is not a joke in no way. as a young driver i will tell any body young or old go and do it. It will help you alot and make you think quick in difficult driving suitations.

I did it...didnt think it was a joke...opened my eyes to drive carefully....i learned tht rest position for my foot shud be on the brakes....mabe they shud start this in secondary school....might make them young drivers aware of the dangers

did this course 5 years ago when i got my license.
well worth it.
i still use the techniques to this day and never had an accident (that was my fault)

I only did it to lower my insurance premium back then. Colfire insisted that i MUST do THEIR course although i held defensive and advanced driving certs from international (NTSI) and local schools (Training and Logistics) Both took you on the road for a practical session.

Colfire lecturer was mediocre at best, i know he's a mod on here but meh, no such thing as bad feedback right.

i know a fella who does it, and it's really informative how he teaches.

i don't know colfire though, but what they do seems good.

Doing a defensive driving course is just like doing a CPR course. Its good to do but at the end of the day is how well you can keep your cool when the situation arises. I dont think this would be of much use for men who does fret and get vex for every lil thing .

desifemlove · Postby **desifemlove** » November 12th, 2013, 10:43 am

Well for men without anger issues (;)) it would work fine.

Most men with anger issues get in road rage incidents anyhow. No person frankly I've ever known has. I doh drive much (I can but ent got no car at the moment) and I can't see myself ever cussing or pelting a bottle at a driver who cut me up.
