The consumer’s level of expectations for any
driving program has decreased over the years. Parents and
students alike complain about the value and ineffectiveness of
“driver’s ed”. Part of this disappointment is because parents
expect “driver’s ed” to cover things it’s not designed to cover.
“Driver’s ed” only covers “Normal Driving Conditions” (what the
lines mean, what the signs mean, what the laws are and how to
operate the vehicle), not “Emergency Driving Conditions” (what
to do when everything goes horribly wrong). (Go to
www.NationalDefensiveDrivingInstitute.org for more
information on the differences).
The Accident Avoidance
Workshops continues to evolve by researching crash statistics and parents requests, as we
fine-tune the curriculum to meet the needs and demands of
today’s drivers and today's driving environment.
Drivers only control two dynamics of the vehicle: Speed
and Direction. In order for a driver to stand the best chance of
escaping an Emergency Driving Condition, they MUST understand
their own limitations and their vehicle's limitations.
We train drivers how to get the most out of themselves and the
most out of their vehicle to give them the best chance of escaping a potentially-fatal incident.
The Accident Avoidance
Workshops provides instruction and/or
exercises in the following areas:
- Accident situation simulation
- Maximum deceleration, both wet and dry conditions
- Maximum acceleration in a controlled environment
- Positioning yourself in the vehicle
- Following distance determination
- Distracted driving
- Dropping 2-wheels off the side of the road / overcorrection
- Lane positioning
- Parking space navigation
- Learning where the corners of the vehicle are
- Maximizing on maneuverability / rapid steering
After graduating from the Accident
Avoidance Workshops,
your student will have demonstrated, or shown they know how
to master the skills necessary so that when faced with an
emergency situation, they are capable of stopping their vehicle
as quickly as physically possible, maximize on its
maneuverability, and never once lose control of themselves, or
their vehicle. Every drive should have this ability before being
permitted to drive on public roads where lives depend on their
proficiency. |
