Benefits Of Advanced Driver Training Courses
a) The training integrates the transportation machine with the man behind the steering wheel and transforms them to a single organized unit.
b) The training lasts for life as the skills develop and evolve in one’s brain (motor memory).
c) The cost of training is negligible as compared to its benefits and savings. By preventing accidents, you save on costly repairs for your vehicles, and most importantly, you save a human life, and life is priceless!!!
d) Defensive driving habits inspire the driver to follow rules and regulations, drive safely, to maintain the right attitude, and sustain mental harmony under stressful driving conditions.
e) A trained driver is a National Asset in promoting our country’s economy, and a ‘safe driver’ ensures safety of other law-abiding road users.
f) In driving, ignorance and impatience are an invitation to premature death, and even the control over the vehicle does not guarantee one’s safety. In fact, most people have a false notion that they are in ‘full control of their vehicles’. This course helps the driver to accept and face the ‘reality as it is on the road’.
g) Prestige Driving School helps to change the attitude towards driving and makes the person more alert, sensitive and responsible as a driver.
