iDriveSim Training

23/08/2026

This happened last week during a simulated drive 😳
Three hazards at once & luckily I was recording the screen for client feedback.

If you practice the skills to do this, you’ll be better prepared to see & respond to real life challenges earlier.
How we drive has evolved, has anyone else noticed? I feel it’s more strategic than ever (& I’m still trying to find the perfect description). With the lack of concern for fellow drivers, various vehicle types etc, you really need to position your vehicle for better vision these days. Give yourself space, plan ahead & be prepared for another unaware commuter to take it at the last minute.

iDiveSim Training provides meaningful work with simulated driver training utilising the SDT Safe Drive Training software.
Train the brain, coordination & reactions.
Drive with your eyes, your hands always follow your eyes.
Keep the body moving, flexible & strong.

Drive better together!

So… I tried the FIA Safe Driving Challenge App for the first time today.
FIA = Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (International Automobile Federation)

My interest in technology has certainly grown over the last few years. I’m cautious about sharing information & hesitated with this one but intrigue got the better of me after a couple of weeks. Others that I know maybe keen to dissect this one more 😊

I drove a familiar route to work, through suburbs, up the highway & an exit into another suburb. Along the way I wondered… how does it know I’m avoiding potholes, how does it know I’m changing lanes, how does it know road works & congestion. Obviously GPS tracking but the list of questions was growing.

I would rate myself as an average driver, say a 5-6/10. I know from training courses that this is a good score & I'm not over judging my performance. I think I’ll do a few more recordings to get a comparison.

Makes me wonder what else is my car technology recording? (I already have an idea 😉)

Shout out to the first ever Women’s Introduction to Esport


An 8 week course giving women virtual race development on pc or controller to progress their esport & in real life involvement in Motorsport.

Australian Women in Motorsport of all ages are leading the way in the world of Esport so give them some support. Participants have just completed week 7 & are now preparing for the showcase finale. Just add ADRENALINE! 🥳🤩

They are fine tuning their knowledge, racecraft & consistency. It has been amazing to see this community grow & support each other 🇦🇺

🎥 My AI race example. Note to self to drop the start lights down under the visor 😊

I really didn’t want to share this heartache but after so many campaigns, posted rule revisions & reminders when will the message get through in this country?

Stop, refocus, respect NOW!!!

An excellent report! Personal well-being, community support & driving skills. Well done young man & to the community!

I’ve often wondered, are other types of news reports projecting the wrong messages to the whole community? I saw a recent quote, “pressure is for tyres”. What driving pressures are being projected? Accidents, illegal activities, technology, traffic…

Should negative reports be decreased or cut completely? Should there be more proactive messages like this story which display skills?

For training purposes change the self focus to what did you learn, not you made these mistakes.

Aspects of driving differ depending on the task at hand but for now why not “drive the car not the track” Ross Bentley.

Remember the days when there was a clear screen to view the road & surroundings.
Even the registration sticker had a specified placement position.

Yes it’s an overloaded AI generated picture & yes there are faults eg the speedo 😎

Invitation to ALL parents/carers supervising a learner driver, you are ALWAYS welcome to drop in for a chat or accompany your learner driver at their simulated driving sessions!

After driving yourself over the years & then teaching a loved one to drive are two totally different skills. So many thoughts & actions (which you may feel powerless to control from the passenger seat) flood your brain. I know the feeling!

I recently witnessed a learner driver in a very concerning situation begin to exit the highway but at the last minute they veered back into the 110kph zone across the painted island. I gave distance, held my following position as support for them & hoped it gave them time to resettle. My thoughts immediately was about the communication in the car. As a learners supervisor there’s ALOT going on & emotions can run high. Another note of concern was the inexperienced drivers abrupt steering & why was there fear of taking a wrong turn with a highway entrance on the other side of the intersection.

I love to meet the parents & carers of learner drivers (even siblings are welcome to observe). I offer parent supervisors to sit in the virtual passenger seat & practice communicating with their learner.
It’s not easy but if fears can be eased & emotions calmed while using the driving simulator I’m all for it!

Minimize conflict, reduce indecision, practice confident, clear communication.

I’m here to help, not judge & I will always protect & respect your privacy. To make a booking send me an email on [email protected]

Over the years I have assisted many drivers that feel anxious about learning to drive. I guess it has always been part of the process because it’s next level responsibility with a lot of unknowns. Is there more fear these days due to the driving conditions, traffic volume or other expectations? Who knows!

I saw potential for simulated driving through teaching my own children to drive & participating in grassroots Motorsport. Simulator software was already out there, I just had to find the one I wanted. Enter .

I pieced together the iDriveSim Training simulator & it has proven to give my clients reassurance, confidence, time to question, process & understand how a vehicle works. I also encourage new drivers to ask questions, lots of questions!

I noticed a recent Paul Morris comment, “Learn how to learn. Learn more about your car” is such good advice (for Motorsport & general driving).

I’ve put together a short video of someones first driving simulator session. I’ve recorded the screen with their permission in order to protect my client.
I advise drivers to take their time, to allow their vision to adjust to the graphics & control of the vehicle. Drivers new to simulated driving tend to overdrive the program due to the lack of forces felt. Some have said “but it didn’t brake!” not realising they’ve gone through an intersection at 150kph.

Speeds will vary as drivers practice coordination & consistency. Observe this drivers cornering progression over the hour long session, without traffic at first & then with traffic. Their speed adjustment changes as they become more calm & confident. Clients have many aha moments & learn quicker from their mistakes on the simulator with no risk or harm.

An hour of screen & concentration is fatiguing. This session ended with a surprise by the overtaking vehicle. A timely reminder of vision blocking & emergency braking which we had covered earlier.
