What it is I do when we are not delivering training somewhere in the world?

The answer to that question takes us back to the early '70's and the origins of VDI's predecessor, the Scotti School of Defensive Driving.

The question also points us to what might best be referred to as the pillars of driving.

Forensic science and engineering are used to determine the cause of a particular and undesirable incident. Including those involving human factors and catastrophic events, it involves the technical evaluation of those conditions and the application of engineering principals to determine the cause of such failures. In our case, those failures are vehicle accidents and/or attacks.
