Better driving skills can make a world of a difference for everyone on the road. Mercedes-Benz approaches the skill of driving from a holistic point of view. State-of-the-art Active and Passive systems need to be complemented by the necessary driving skills in order to ensure better protection for drivers and passengers, even pedestrians.

Designed to put the participants through challenging paces and make them more skillful drivers, the Mercedes-Benz Driving Experience has various exercises that put emphasis not only on the features and capabilities of the cars, but also on how to best use the electronic assistance systems on board every Mercedes-Benz, in different driving situations and conditions.



This exclusive program for Mercedes-Benz owners aims to equip them with the necessary skills to avoid accidents and manage difficult driving situations as they happen. Exercises that promote a higher appreciation for the numerous technologies and safety systems of Mercedes-Benz include the Ultimate Speed Experience, Time Attack Challenge, ABS and BAS Experience, High Speed Lane Change and Gymkhana.

We did not get to go this year, but we covered the Mercedes-Benz Driving Experience in 2012.
