Driving Schools or the Driving Instructors?

Great driving instructors are not easy to find.

Safe driving is very much essential and needs to be cultivated among the good prospective drivers. The safe driving habits have to institutionalized through the disciplined driving instructors or the driving schools. This has remained a serious debate, which one is more important and matters and getting the necessary driving education and campus training on the wheels.

There are no denying facts that reputation of driving schools depends upon their well trained, efficient and disciplined instructors. These instructors are the integral part and partial of the driving schools. Both are complementary to each other. The driving schools are the grounds for their theoretical training of driving the particular vehicles.

Traffic rules and knowledge of vehicle acts and the legal aspects of their training forms an integral part of the driving training. This could only be imparted in a classroom of the driving school by a well knowledgeable driving instructor. Knowledge of various essential parts of the motor vehicle good for the full control of the vehicle is equally important.

This could be disseminated either in the class room or on the standing vehicle. The actual vehicle control gets imparted on the vehicle either in campus or the field. Each component of the driving skill has its importance and possibly cannot be ignored.

Instructors are not all created equal

One could be a good driver on the wheel, but its knowledge of the traffic rules and vehicle act/regulations cannot be denied. These are equally essential and complementary to each other. Keeping the driving instructors ready to impart their knowledge with full love and their ability has no ascendancy over one another. Such able performance of these driving instructor would make the driving schools worth their reputations and remains two-way process.

The knowledge of the driving instructors and the reputations of the driving schools are well knitted and interlinked and possibly cannot be differentiated. It is the teamwork of the driving instructors that calls for the status of the driving schools. Switching of the jobs by the driving instructors from one school to another should be treated as part of the internal administration or their individual comfort or opinion.

Diving schools and institutes in various regions may offer personalized comfort and route convenience but becomes popular among the students because of the driving instructors and their portfolio. It is the combined goodwill of the driving instructor and driving school that attracts the students.

It is the combination of the skills of the driving instructors and reputations and approach of the driving institutes and the diversity of their offerings that finally decides and helps the individual students and corporate sectors for selecting and deciding to choose for training.

In addition to sharing the top 10 teen driving safety tips every parent should know I also wanted to share information about the B.R.A.K.E.S. Program, a non-profit Teen Pro-Active Driving School founded by Top Fuel drag racer Doug Herbert in memory of his teenage sons, Jon and James, who were tragically killed in a car crash on Jan. 26, 2008. The B.R.A.K.E.S. curriculum includes advanced, behind-the-wheel training from professional driving instructors including: skid avoidance, distracted driving awareness, panic stopping (ABS activation), drop-wheel recovery and car control.
According to a study by Dr. Paul Friday of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the North Carolina Department of Transportation, 84 percent of all B.R.A.K.E.S. graduates since 2011 had no crashes, and 93.6 percent of all students since 2011 had no moving violations following the course.  Perhaps most importantly, B.R.A.K.E.S. graduates are 64 percent less likely to be involved in a crash in their first three years of driving.
