"After a career in sports coaching and motoring I became a driving instructor to make a difference to our future road users. I strive to ensure that our young drivers become life long safe drivers for their own safety and that of all other road users.”
Babar is passionate about driving and skiing, actually there is little he is not passionate about! And this passion is apparent when you take your driving lessons with Babar. Right from the start you will be amazed by his attention to detail and ability to communicate clearly and comprehensively every aspect of the vehicle and driving skills. Babar is one of the most popular driving instructors in Canberra, but don't believe us, ask around!
He is able to motivate the learner driver to become a safe driver for life not just to pass the log book or test! That's important as the highest fatality risk of all drivers are new P plate drivers. Babar's background as a elite sporting coach in Europe and Australia provide the basis for making a difference to young people in this most important skill development process.
Babar has been working within the motor industry in the UK and Australia for many years and is a keen motoring enthusiast. He imparts knowledge about cars and motoring freely during driving lessons to make sure that the learner fully appreciates the vehicle, it's risks and capabilities.
