Become better drivers and safer drivers Become ProActive, not ReActive!
Car control is not inborn, it is learned. Today’s track driving allows us to explore precision driving in a safe environment.
Interestingly enough, track driving will make us much better street drivers as well. Track driving simulates real world conditions and the skills learned today can be directly applied to day to day driving.
There are plenty of sensory inputs from behind the wheel…
- Eyes
- Ears
- Hands
- Feet
- Seat
Today we will learn to use all of them!
At first, I imagine you will do things that surprise you, you won’t know quite what happened, other than something was upsetting, anxiety producing. The white knuckle syndrome, fight or flight, adrenaline rush takes hold, poor decision making in a panic situation.
We want today’s reactions to become proactions, to become instinctual. We want to anticipate what is coming, anticipate what we will do many seconds ahead of where we are now.
We want to be ProActive, not ReActive!
