ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE FOR EXPERIENCED DRIVERS
Whether your driving record is flawless, or if you’ve been involved in an accident (or two, or three), our Accident Avoidance for Experienced Drivers course is designed specifically for drivers with a little experience under their belt.
If you are fortunate enough to have a spotless driving record- Congratulations! If you’re a driver who has already experienced an automobile accident, don’t feel bad. You are certainly not alone. The reality is, that no matter how good or bad your driving history is, we simply don’t have the ability to control every factor when we are on the road. Emergency and less-than-ideal driving conditions can happen in the blink of an eye, even to the most seasoned drivers. Maybe you are at work and a snowstorm hits, causing you to drive home with snow-covered roads in freezing temperatures. Maybe a deer jumps out in front of you and you have seconds to respond. Maybe you hit black ice in a turn and begin to lose control of your vehicle. The possibilities of an unforeseen circumstance occurring while you are driving are endless. In this course, our highly trained instructors will help equip you with the tools, both mentally and physically, to more quickly and accurately respond when faced with one of these unforeseen situations.
