The Science of Driver Training

Science of Driver Training

Part I: A Historical Perspective It goes without saying – which, of course, means that it absolutely must be said – that the overarching goal of every protection practitioner should be to avoid, to the greatest extent possible, using the so-called hard skills that tend to be prominently displayed on the vast majority of training […]
