Welcome to Cooper’s “Calm Driving” Program At Cooper’s Calm Driving, I focus on transforming not just how you drive, but how you think and feel behind the wheel. With decades of hands-on experience in crash research, fleet training, change management, and neuroscience, I understand how deeply ingrained habits and beliefs can affect driving. That’s why […]
Q: HOW DOES THIS FIT INTO DRIVER EDUCATION? HMMM. A: How about a DIFFERENT way to drive? Go to YOUTUBE and do a search for “ISLE OF MAN.” allows them to navigate the circuit at extreme speeds despite limited real-time visibility The lights are on but no one’s home Isle of Man TT Race 231 […]
When a client feels they’ve practiced enough and demonstrated all the main maneuvers—like parking, left turns at lights, and lane changes—we set a road test date and run a series of mock tests. 🛣️📅 This is a stark contrast to our usual teamwork-based teaching approach. Typically, we tackle each task together—side by side, with plenty […]
I have noticed an increase in ADHD, anxiety and related medicines. So I continued to search for words that may follow this trend. So what exercises do I focus on when working with someone who has ADHD? The truth is these practices help all kinds of learners if you carefully listen to how they are […]

Driving should be a breeze, not a headache. Here’s how to keep it smooth and safe 🚗💨: Trust your gut. If something feels off, give other drivers […]
More control leads to more speed. But more speed doesn’t always lead to more control. In my experience with new drivers, increasing speed often diminishes control, pushing them to prioritize the social norm of “Go Go Go” over mastering the critical skill of control. New drivers need to focus on gaining control, not chasing speed. […]
Over time and through many discussions, I realized that a core belief among many of my younger clients is that the highest standard in society and the best solutions to most problems come from the bureaucracy. Wow! What an eye-opener! Where the heck did that idea come from? I know that the purpose of the […]
How close to that pole do you think I am, asks my friend who is driving his mate’s car for the first time. Interesting how a driver would ask the passenger, who is not driving, for their judgement on caring for the $200,000 friend’s dream car. Well, one way to know is to STOP, get […]
So how many of this list do you fail to do? How many did you learn, not learn, from your driving instructor?
Completing a standard 100 to 105-hour, 3-week course (Monday to Friday, 8:30 am – 5:00 pm) is just the beginning of your career as a driving instructor. While this foundational training equips you with the necessary tools to meet regulations and start teaching it is very short of being great. The road to becoming a […]
…effective action requires a balance of skills and readiness, not just a focus on defence… Defensive driving is essential, but so is a great offense—moving forward and actively avoiding danger. Considering that rear-end collisions lead to the highest insurance payouts – developing offensive skills might be wise. I’ve spent much of my career in fleet […]
