The Prime Defence Tactical Driving Courses are for anyone who might come under attack while operating a motor vehicle, whether the attack is an attempted carjacking, kidnapping, or terrorist attack ..

Our goal is to train the driver how to use his vehicle as a means of escape or weapon for survival. The driver will learn his and the car’s capability. The training will emphasize the importance of being mentally prepared in order to be able to react.

Each Prime Defence instructor used in this course has at least five (5) years experience with antiterrorist operations and antiterrorist drivers training. Our instructors have participated in numerous international and domestic protection details for corporations and government agencies, as well as provided training for corporate and government protection details in the areas of anti-terrorism, firearms, medical, advance team operations, driving, surveillance and counter surveillance.

The basic tenants of vehicle control, advanced braking techniques, and the concepts of accident avoidance are described in lecture. Through practical demonstration and individual participation, students learn and practice precision driving, skid control, straight line braking, braking and turning, off road recovery, and accident avoidance. Students learn the dynamics and physical skill necessary to avoid or evade imminent attack. Students become proficient at rapidly turning the vehicle using forward or reverse 180 turns. Specialized techniques are demonstrated by instructors and practiced by each student in disposable vehicles. Tactical ramming is used as counter assaults to an over run or drive by attack. Specialized frontal and reverse ramming techniques are demonstrated by instructors and practiced by each student in disposable vehicles. Instructors demonstrate current methodology found in improvised explosive devices.

A thorough system of vehicle protection and searches is taught in lecture and applied in practical exercise using inert explosive devices hidden on standard vehicles.
