Some Important Facts About Young Drivers (16 – 21 Years Old)
 |
Young drivers are involved in more than 2 million motor vehicle accidents a year |
|
Young drivers receive more than 150,000 disabling injuries every year due to accidents |
|
More than 6,000 young adults are killed in motor vehicle accidents every year |
|
The single largest factor in accidents involving young drivers is driver inexperience |
|
Studies have shown that hands on driver programs reduce accident rates among young drivers by as much as 61% |
There is a Solution
For nearly thirty five years, Tony Scotti and his associates have trained drivers around the world in the skills needed to recognize and avoid life threatening situations while operating a motor vehicle. Today, the methodology which was refined while conducting programs in twenty eight countries on five continents provides a foundation for the most advanced driver program available to young drivers.
The Vehicle Dynamics Difference
Tony Scotti’s Vehicle Dynamics Institute is not a racing or high performance driving school that tries to adapt techniques favored by race car drivers for use by less experienced drivers. Our programs are the first of their kind available to the general public that incorporate the science of vehicle dynamics - the study of how a moving vehicle responds when force is applied by steering, braking or accelerating - into that provides students the vital skills needed to recognize and respond to emergency situations.
The Program
Our Accident Avoidance and Advanced Driving Skills program is an intensive one day (8 hour) program that is designed to increase a driver’s ability to recognize potential hazards or emergency situations and respond appropriately while maintaining control of his or her vehicle. The program consists of classroom discussions as well as extensive practical exercises which offer the student an opportunity to gain an understanding of:
|
The most common factors that contribute to motor vehicle accidents |
|
The relationship between speed, distance and reaction time – and why it is important |
|
Driving techniques that reduce the likelihood of the most common types of accidents |
|
The limitations of both the vehicle and the driver |
