In terms of performance where it matters the most – in the midst of a real-world event such as a potential accident or deliberate attempt to stop the vehicle – all three facets, the Driver, the Vehicle, and the Environment, each have tremendous potential to influence the outcome of those behind-the-wheel emergencies.
The Pillars of Driving
Last week, as we wrapped up what, by all accounts, was another successful Protective/Evasive Driving course (our 32nd training delivery of the year) one of the 18 students who participated in the training asked me..
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.
