One of the largest financial payouts insurance companies cover is read-end collisions. I believe it’s one of the most brutal collisions to avoid. It took me a long time to get good at defending myself from it. I would say it was probably the last area of prevention that I developed. OBSERVATIONS When we slow, […]

Typically learning-drivers take training at the same time of the day. For example 6:30 pm right after work. This happens with most clients. But a large group of my clients are nervous, fearful, or post-crash drivers. Many take a gentler approach to learning spread over longer time spans. They also bring into the learning large […]

However, many of the drivers I work with struggle with internal distractions. Examiners are staring at my faults! Will the examiner confirm ‘good driver’ or ‘bad driver’?
