DRIVER TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

Our driver training programs are assembled to improve a driver's ability, awareness and attitude. Focusing on these three areas we conduct all training to build a reliable set of new habits. We believe as do most experts that experienced drivers over time develop accident breeding habits that not only impair their ability to perform in a crisis situation but is often the root cause of these situations. Our goal is to create a mind set and a correct and reliable set of driving habits. Habits that will dramatically reduce the amount of emergency situations and if one should still occur, invoke the correct set of responses required to perform brilliantly, alertly and precisely in all driving situations.

We go beyond teaching what to do in specific situations. Rather we use these situations as examples to discuss vehicle behavior and human responses. This "big picture" approach is delivered with theory and challenging practice exercises on a closed course that push the limits of students abilities in ways they've never experienced before in a controlled and safe environment.

The principals and exercises from the closed course are then applied to every day driving via our "rolling classroom". This on road training allows the student to not only apply what they've learned but more importantly they understand why. That is, if they know why vehicles get out of a driver's control, they should be able to prevent it from happening. By providing the right blend of content practice and professionalism we give every student the skills, mind set and inspiration to be the best driver they can be.
