What Can You Expect in the VKU English?
The VKU focuses on the connection between theory and practice. You will learn useful things to help you navigate traffic with a car or motorbike. Important insights from recent accident research are also included. To make the course as relevant as possible for you, we use a lot of study and video material from the local area in Zurich.
Traffic Vision
The first double lesson is about recognizing typical traffic situations at an early stage and reacting correctly. We also learn what sensorimotor skills mean and how they can best be trained while driving.
Traffic Dynamics
Everything here revolves around the vehicle and the forces involved in driving. The right speed in the various driving situations is crucial in road safety. Also the technical condition of the vehicle.
Traffic Environment
The transport environment is about everything what happens around the car. Pedestrians, bicycles, streets, weather and light conditions. We learn how to behave appropriately on the street.
Traffic Tactics
Traffic tactics are about driving ability. What influence can drugs, alcohol and medication have on driving? We also learn how to travel in the most environmentally friendly way possible. A DriveLab specialty.

Meet Your Instructor
Dario Lichtensteiger
Certified Driving Instructor | 15 Years Experience
"With a lot of enthusiasm, I have been a driving instructor for 15 years. In my studies at the Lucerne University of Education, I already dedicated my master's thesis to the development of driving competence. The focus of my work at that time was the influence of feedback on driving skills. I am looking forward to exploring the most successful learning methods with you in our driving laboratory (DriveLab) and to ignite the fire in you to learn something new. All this in fluent English and a humorous atmosphere."
"Enthusiasm is the fertilizer for the brain."
— Prof. Dr. Gerald Hüther, neurobiologist
