    1. In-Car Session – Will be an individual session consisting of one-on-one instruction for two hours. We will train the student to use the Driv-Tec System in the vehicle.

  6. Training Curriculum
    1. In-Car Training (One-on-One)
      The objective is: Not to teach you how to move the vehicle – you already know this. We are going to give you a “Space Management System” that will keep you aware of everything around you at all times. Our lesson will train you to “READ THE TRAFFIC” with a technique known as Commentary Driving. This system will give you an opportunity to be a COLLLISION FREE DRIVER ! We hang our hat on training students to “Read the Traffic” (proper use of eyes).

      Our system to accomplish this is called the DrivTec System of driving. To be more specific, students will be trained in:

      • Correct following distance.
      • Clearing all intersections.
      • Lane changes.
      • PNR (technique to safely get through traffic lights)
      • Checking mirrors at proper times.
      • Continuously reading traffic.
      • Backing.

      We will strive to develop proper habits in the above areas, so your employees will execute these techniques when performing for you. Commentary Driving is communicating everything in the traffic scene verbally. This system is very unique. Most important, it is fun, and gets results. If you would like a demonstration of the system, we can arrange a time for us to come visit your company. (Travel Expenses only if out of Houston; no charge if in Houston.)
