You can't just tell a driver to drive better
Discussion
Many great comments and very interesting thoughts here.
Just picking up on a few Young Driver comments.
We can train from 14yrs. Although this is mainly an introduction to a vehicle, controls and dynamics.
We do however demonstrate a skid and ABS with the instructor driving.
We are trying to work more with local schools near our Corby base to raise awareness and revise driving attitudes.
This can be done more effectively with a significant amount of hands-on, backed up with workshop and theory.
The engagement is far better than more passive methods.
If we can start young drivers with real facts even though some of these are uncomfortable creating true understanding
and awareness there is a greater chance these drivers will carry this attitude forward into their driving lives.
We also include as part of our Young Driver approach a session for parents.
They too must understand the importance of their role at this influential time.
From the feedback of our young driver customers and their familes so far the message seems to be hitting home.
Bottom line is ANYTHING we can do in a considered and professional way that helps stem increasing road deaths
should be promoted.
It WILL save lives.

Greatest learning experiences are usually real ones. I could tell my daughter all about understeer while we're sat in the lounge, but until she's experienced it she won't have a clue.
I think skid training should be a compulsory activity for new drivers.
Mind you, I also think drag racing should be compulsory too. My driving has slowed down considerably since I took it up.
