Driving Safety Training

In our driving safety training you experience the driving physics of an armoured vehicle in a different way and take the opportunity to safely test the behaviour and limits of these vehicles. Our training was developed by specialists of the German armed forces.

The foundation is the behaviour and limits of armoured vehicles in various situations. You practise driving techniques that let you react quickly and correctly in an emergency to skilfully avoid dangers and obstacles. Of course we also train safe off-road driving away from paved roads.

You are welcome to bring your own vehicle.
