Frequently Asked Questions About Southern Cross Advanced Driving
Yes, defensive driving is actually integrated into every learner lesson at Southern Cross Advanced Driving, not offered as a separate add-on. Instructor Dale Press teaches both vehicle control and road awareness from day one, so learners build low-risk habits right through their logbook hours. The school also runs standalone defensive and low-risk driving courses for drivers wanting to sharpen their skills after they've earned their licence.
Absolutely. Dale Press has built a strong reputation among local families for his patient, confidence-building approach with anxious first-timers. Parents in Ipswich and the Lockyer Valley regularly tell us Dale creates a relaxed learning environment, gives clear guidance at every step, and genuinely boosts teenagers' confidence on the road, even learners who found the idea of driving or sitting the test well outside their comfort zone.
Beyond standard learner instruction, Southern Cross Advanced Driving runs 4WD training courses (including sessions at Scenic Rim Adventure Park), performance driving, and learner motorcycle rider training. Dale is a certified Q Ride trainer and assessor, and holds specialist 4WD and motorcycle instruction qualifications.
