Training is the Practical Application of Knowledge

The essence of training is to allow error without consequence. – Orson Scott Card

According to NHTSA, the top contributors to teen fatalities are:

• Over-correcting from a loss of control
• Dropping a tire off the pavement (incorrectly responding)
• Improperly judging safe following distances
• Distractions
• Failing to buckle seat belts

We provide the practical application of the classroom knowledge by connecting the Mental aspects for driving with the physical relationship between driver and vehicle in a safe controlled environment so that teens understand:

• Vision (and how it determines the direction of a vehicle)
• Traction (and how it controls a vehicle)
• Weight Transfer (and its effect on control)
• Stopping Distances (and how it determines safe following distances)
• Safety devices (ABS/Stability Control and how they function)
• Avoidance (control/escape routes/recovery)
• Lane Change
• Two Wheels Off (control/recovery/panic)
• Distractions (and how 2 seconds can set a crash in motion)

If you don’t know what enables the safe control of a vehicle, you’ll never know:

• Why control was lost or
• How to recover from a loss of control
