For decades, there has been research and data that allows the driver trainer to better understand how drivers make decisions in emergencies. The result of this research is the advancements in creating proactive driver training – measuring driving skill and survivability in an emergency. For some inexplicable reason, most of this information is largely ignored by the driver training community. When considering the lifesaving skills that need to be taught, driver training cannot be based on personal opinion or unsubstantiated doctrine. The Science of Driving
