What qualifies Cooper to help you?

I am highly qualified for this role due to my extensive background in driver assessments and my experience with sophisticated measurement tools. My expertise was honed while working with the Transport Canada Ergonomics Division, where I was involved in some of the earliest studies on cell phone use while driving. These studies eventually contributed to worldwide bans on handheld devices while driving. As the lead assessor, I was not only responsible for training new assessors but also for ensuring the safety of the driver, passengers, and the public during experiments. These experiments, in downtown busy Ottawa, involved intentionally distracting drivers to capture their errors on camera, documenting the effects of answering phone calls or engaging in conversation with passengers. My role required me to allow drivers to make risky maneuvers without interfering, yet ensuring that we avoided any accidents. I was also tasked with documenting 6 crash variables every 15 seconds during the 45-minute drives, all while keeping us all safe. This challenging but exciting role equipped me with unique skills and experiences vital for conducting safe and effective driving assessments. Plus so much more. Come, let’s get you a pass!

Question:

“If I, Cooper, had to take this second-level Class 5 test, I would likely practice three separate times, each session lasting an hour or two. Why? You train people everyday. Why would you need to ptactise this much? ”

My ANSWER:

“I’ve picked up numerous traffic habits, like keeping one hand on the wheel, speeding, and making rolling stops, among others. I need to break these habits before the examiner steps into the car beside me.Yes my brain knows what to do. But my body has a mind of its own and I need to train it a little to make sure it obeys during the stress test and doesn’t take over and do its own thing!”

I wish you the best of luck on your Vancouver B.C. Class 5 Driving Test
