What our Class Participants Say about the our Driver Safety Course
“Knowing the proper technique in using ABS brakes helped in a couple of tight situations — when people who haven’t taken the course did some idiotic maneuvers.” “I’m more aware of safe distances from other cars in general, I think more about things suddenly coming in my path and I avoid backing up whenever possible.” “The benefit of this course for 16-year olds is well recognized. I feel it is equally valuable for mature drivers, particularly those whose reaction time is slowing down.” “This is a wonderful program – all Vermont drivers should be required to take and pass the course.” “I now allow more stopping distance at higher speeds.” “I gained confidence from the course. I feel less hesitant behind the wheel. My steering and overall awareness has improved.” “The course was very helpful and I learned a great deal. You don’t forget the things that you learn in just the few hours that the course takes. Thanks for improving my driving.” “By heavy braking and steering I avoided a collision when an automobile pulled out from a side street without yielding the right-of-way to me.” “Normally I would drive with one hand, but I learned that driving with two hands gives you better handling.” “The tailgating and the emergency lane change exercises were the most helpful because they represent everyday conditions that drivers must avoid.” “On a trip back from Maine late at night I avoided an accident due to using the correct braking and going around an obstacle technique. Upsetting experience but no one was injured and no damage to the car.” “One of the most informative and fun days I’ve had. Trainers were super. Both helpful and knowledgeable. Calm and patient.” “This course makes it plainly obvious that one can’t really drive defensively or be ready to take immediate evasive action while distracted by cell phone, coffee cup in hand, eating, etc. Adverse things happen too fast on the road to allow oneself to be distracted.” “Taking the course with my son was great! We have spent so much time critiquing each other’s driving and passing on valuable information to husband/dad.” “I recommend this training course to all drivers because it brings reality and the driver face to face. Instead of being told about the danger, you see the danger first hand.” “This has been one of the best experiences that I have been through. The way that the instructors relate to you and the way that they explained the exercises step-by-step, made the experience so much more comfortable for me. I hope that I will be able to go through another course like this to improve my driving experience even more.” “…have a great appreciation for the ability of the car and myself to stop or steer quickly and hard…the ability to test the capabilities of the care in a safe environment is invaluable. A highly worthwhile half-day, get it into drivers ed!” “Excellent program that I feel should be incorporated into drivers education or required for all young drivers.” “Get the word out! I spoke to my drivers ed teacher and she was very interested and wanted information. If more people know, I know parents would have their kids go. It’s invaluable to a new driver. Thank you very much!” “Good refresher course for older drivers and excellent course for young people and new drivers.” “I drive often at night in areas heavily populated by deer. This course made me more confident of my ability to avoid hitting a deer.” “I was a safe driver before I took the course, but I’m glad that I took it anyway. It taught me skills that I hope I will be able to use when a dangerous or potentially dangerous situation arises.” “Being able to actually PRACTICE skids, swerves, etc. instead of learning them in a classroom was crucial to my understanding.” “For a one day course, this completely changed the way I think about driving. I think everyone should take the course!” “The training was very valuable for learning how to deal with an emergency situation – how to avoid an accident – I feel it will prove it’s worth when the occasion should arise.” | ||||
