Benefits of Drivers Training
Drivers training saves lives. It prevents real accidents through use of driving simulators. It offers a higher quality of instruction versus training from a friend or relative by utilizing professional instructors. Drivers education also increases skill retention through use of training books. And Drivers Ed reduces accidents by giving students more practice repetitions before they hit the road.
SIMULATOR TRAINING:
A new driver`s first accident should be in a simulator. Most drivers training classes use simulators. Rarely do those who get training from a friend or relative get access to a simulator. Brake and accelerator responsiveness are not intuitive to everyone. The phrase “objects may be closer than they appear” in the side mirrors doesn`t resonate with some students until they are surprised by a vehicle they did not see. Simulators allow drivers to gauge their reaction time to moving objects without raising the blood pressure of the instructor nor another innocent road sharing driver. Every accident in a simulator prevents a real road tragedy.
PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTORS:
Drivers training is the best way for most people to get access to professional instructors. No one wants new drivers learning the bad driving habits of a friend who does not signal early enough. It`s not safe for a driving student to unintentionally mimic a relative who obscures their road view by reclining their seat too much. Drivers Ed will give students access to instructors who are supervised as well as peer reviewed. Professional instructors see exponentially more driving students than most friends or relatives and are trained to reinforce good driving habits.
TRAINING BOOK:
Well meaning friends or relatives are usually limited to verbal instruction. In a drivers education class students are also given written instruction in a published and peer reviewed book. Getting instruction in two mental pathways (both written and verbal) increases information retention. A driving text book allows students to study to become more skilled and safer even when the instructor is not available.
Training books spend more time on road signage than almost any friend or relative will. This is the best way for new drivers to learn about train crossing signs even if they live in an area with few train tracks. It also can prepare students for traffic circles and other intersection types that may be challenging to those who don`t live near them.
MORE REPETITIONS:
Drivers Ed also provides more driving practice repetitions than training from most friends or relatives. It is common to hear drives explain that their friend or relative at some point said, “okay, it looks like you`ve gotten the hang of it”, before the student was genuinely confident. Driving schools will let students practice as much as they are willing to pay for. The additional practice usually costs less than accident repairs and always is less costly than injuries and fatalities.
