Join us for what may be the most important 100 minutes you’ll ever spend in a vehicle, learning how to survive the ever-increasing challenges of dealing with heavy traffic and distracted drivers.

• In this 100 minute training course you’ll learn how to stop your vehicle in an emergency, and how to avoid collisions using your vision and your steering.
• Ideal for the new driver, but open to drivers of all experience levels, the Advanced Collision Avoidance Training will build both skills and confidence.
• Our team of instructors will share their vast knowledge with you, giving you years of experience in a matter of hours. You’ll leave with a whole new level of appreciation and understanding of your vehicle – just what you need to survive today’s hectic roadways.
  Do you know what to do if a pedestrian stepped directly in front of your moving vehicle? Should you brake hard, steer to avoid, or some combination? What if your vehicle has ABS and Stability Control – how does that help? And where do you look? You’ll not only know the answers to these questions after the Advanced Collision Avoidance Training, but you’ll have begun the critical process turning these into habits you’ll rely on in the critical split second that precedes emergencies.
• The Advanced Collision Avoidance Training begins with a short briefing on what you’ll be doing during your session, as well as key terms and phrases you’ll hear from our instructors. Then you head into the real “classroom” – behind the wheel of your own vehicle. There, you start off with a simple but crucial slalom driving exercise, fine-tuning your steering and vision techniques. Next up you’ll practice emergency braking, learning how to stop your vehicle as quickly as possible. Finally, you’ll put your newly-developed skills to the test in a simulated collision avoidance exercise, where you’ll practice braking and steering to avoid an obstacle. All of this will be conducted in a safe environment where you’ll learn the limits and abilities of yourself and your vehicle.
  Surviving today’s roadways are a challenge – and it seems as though it will only get worse as more and more distracted drivers crowd our busy streets and highways. In 100 minutes, during our Advanced Collision Avoidance course, you’ll learn how to not only survive this challenge, but feel confident in doing so. Driving your own vehicle, you’ll practice and develop critical emergency braking and collision avoidance skills.

Testimonial from one of our students from a Collision Avoidance session:

Dear Defensive Driving Instructors
I am one of your students from about thirty minutes ago; my name is Bradley H. Not thirteen minutes after your class, I was driving home on the freeway with my mom and little brother doing sixty five miles an hour in the rain when my vehicle spun out of control in a full one-hundred-and-eighty degrees, to the point where we could stare at the faces of the people driving behind us, and I was certain we all were going to die; however, thanks to your class I managed to correct the vehicle so we once again faced forward down the freeway and continued driving. The cars behind us then passed us, both giving us a very impressed thumbs up. I owe my life and the life of my family to you and your class.  Thank you. I will definitely be recommending your class to everyone I know.
Thank you once again.
Sincerely, Bradley H.
