PRO-ACTIVE DRIVING

CHANGE

When first learning to drive the tendency is to be reactive rather than proactive. Being reactive means waiting to see what others are doing before deciding what to do next. We teach by objectives in a flexible driving style which brings out our students' personalities. Maintaining a disciplined approach to training is very important in progressing safely and swiftly into becoming a proactive, problem solving driver who can concentrate on solutions and easily perceive the risk in traffic situations ahead.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT

The skill of being a problem solving driver is strengthened throughout the course and it often enables our students to control difficult driving situations through off-centre positioning and gentle adjustments of speed. This controls the space around the car, together with intelligent use of brake light signals, the horn and headlamps. Planned driving that makes safe and intelligent use of road space.

SPACE AND TIME MANAGEMENT

We teach our students how to read the road like a detective novel looking for clues to assist in making the right decisions and help decide the best responses. Improved driver awareness makes the driving more enjoyable and safer, building confidence that improves their efficiency and performance. Awareness is the key factor, anticipating the unexpected means no big surprises for a Chequered Flag taught driver.
