CORPORATE DRIVER TRAINING PROGRAMS
Driver Training Outcomes

Properly structured driver training programs like our Drive to Survive defensive driving course provide many benefits and positive outcomes;

- Understanding the value of safe driving (health, safety, economic and environmental benefits),

- Increased hazard perception,

- Improved judgment of potential risks,

- Awareness of the responsibility of crashes,

- Maintaining a safe driving environment (vehicle maintenance & vehicle positioning on road),

- Reduction in high risk actions,

- Motivation to continually assess and improve driving skills and behaviors,

- Provide an awareness of the impact/benefit of electronic safety systems in modern vehicles (ABS, Traction Control, Stability Control, etc).

So you may be asking, if properly structured training can provide the benefits such as those noted above then why have I heard negative reports about driver training? That is a good question but one that can be answered quite thoroughly.

Firstly, most reports conducted on driver training are now outdated (most are from 10+ years ago). Secondly, most reports have been conducted using predominately “skills based” driving courses as the program being studied. What we are offer is a “defensive driving” program which is very focused in its objectives to achieve real defensive driving outcomes. It includes a mix of theory content to explain the objectives of the driving activities – either one (theory or driving) on its own will not provide the desired benefits.

Although we do include skills in the training content of the Drive To Survive course, these are skills such as improving Vision, Seating/Seating Position and Smoother Steering & Pedal Actions. None of these ‘skills’ create overconfidence, especially when delivered by our professional and passionate instructing team.

We welcome any questions that you may have about our training structures, please feel free to contact the office to discuss any concerns.
