I’ve always wanted to do an advanced driving course. The idea of having complete control over my vehicle (no matter what the situation) kind of intrigues me. I’ve always had a deep respect for people that have done these courses. I always feel safer in the car when the person behind the wheel has been trained to drive by professionals. My greatest disappointment has always been that most of these courses are run in German manufactured automobiles. Although the principles remain the same, I’ve always felt uncomfortable with the idea that the car you’re learning these new skills in is not something that might be sitting in your garage at home.
The great news is that Toyota is offering advanced driving courses. The courses are extremely comprehensive, with a strong focus on safety. There are courses for every skill level and for every vehicle preference. So whether you’re a 4×4 fundi, car pooler, or the school taxi, you’re bound to find a course that you will benefit from. The best part about these courses is that they’re all done in Toyota vehicles, so you’ll be learning these skills in a familiar car. If you don’t own a Toyota, do the course, you will definitely want to invest in one afterwards. 
What I found particularly interesting is the Skid Monster training device. It’s a really amazing contraption that is attached to the vehicle. It allows the instructor to simulate all kinds of dangerous situations (without actually endangering your life). This is the first device of its kind in the country and has proven to be an invaluable training tool.
