This is a special edition of the book used in our training programs, “Professional Driving Techniques”.
The comments on the back are of interest:
You wouldn’t allow the security professional to carry a gun without first measuring their ability to use it: so why would you let that same person drive if you don’t measure their ability to do so?
The professional security driver can be distinguished from all other drivers – professional and nonprofessional alike by his/her ability to recognize and overcome behind the wheel emergencies ranging from a potential emergency in a deliberate attempt to stop their vehicle and bring harm to those they are responsible for protecting.
This book provides the security professional who is committed to excellence with the valuable insight and information designed to improve their understanding of the three factors that influence the outcome of behind the wheel emergencies – the driver – the vehicle and the environment.
Understanding the difference between good and average drivers.
How can a driver recognize when they or their vehicle are operating at or near the limits and what they can do to ensure they do not exceed those limits.
The advantages that technology advanced systems, such as anti-locking brakes, traction control and electronic stability control provide the professional driver.
How to effectively manage the limited time, limited distance and limited maneuvering room that is common to behind the wheel emergencies.
The necessity of both mental and physical readiness and the adverse effects of fatigue and stress.
Plus
Useful information on a variety of driving related topics from air bags and seat belts to what tools, equipment and supplies the driver should include in their vehicle emergency kit.
I am a retired UK police officer, having served 32 years. I hold a police instructor’s certificate for police car driving, and have taught police officers and certain ‘civilians’ at advanced car level, as well as future instructors and VIP escort ‘escape and evade’ tactics, also including convoy driving and all the ancillary, requisite skills; (this has included both on and off-road driving). I am presently qualified through the UK SIA as a Close Protection Officer and am a CP driving specialist. I also teach these skills on an ad hoc basis in the UK and abroad. I follow your site with interest. For my own on-going development and awareness, am I able to purchase a copy of your book, “Professional Driving Techniques” ? If so, I’d be grateful if you would advise me how I can obtain a copy. Thanks. Best wishes. Chris Grundy
