Drive Podcast

It's the final lap before the Drive Podcast is parked for the year. Trent and James unpack the final new car sales figures, including a very hotly contested top spot, they review Drive's most popular stories, they give a peek into current happenings for Car of the Year and they put some bold predictions for 2024 firmly (and permanently) on the record.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

In the last of our safety focused feature interviews for the year, Susannah sits down with Driver Dynamics’ Kev Flynn, a driver trainer of immense experience. They discuss the difference between being skilled and being safe, how car safety advice depends on the car that you drive, his experiences with counter terrorism driving training, and what driving overseas can teach you about courtesy on the roads.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

What are the safety features that really make a difference? Are bigger cars more dangerous? How can you tell which used cars are safest? These are just some of the questions answered with the latest research in this episode by Jerome Carslake, director of the National Road Safety Partnership Program delivered in partnership with the Monash University Accident Research Centre.   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

As the first in a series of fortnightly interviews highlighting road and driver safety coming into the holiday period, Susannah Guthrie sits down with Victorian Road Policing Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir. They discuss which dangerous driving habits remain puzzlingly common, the true cost of 'little infringements', the latest deterrents and enforcement strategies and what is really needed to reduce the road toll.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Motoring expert and performance driving coach Ian Luff joins the podcast this week to shine a light on some under looked aspects of driver safety.  Plus, the members of the Drive team were given a simple question - what new car would you buy for under the average price? Trent has the answers.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
