How to drive with your eyes on 'main beam'

Ultimate Driving Craft DVD shows you how to use commentary - describing aloud what you are seeing and doing - to improve your driving skills.

Driving with eyes on 'dipped beam' is a very common fault which produces reactionary driving. The photo above shows how with eyes on 'dipped' you only see what's just in front of you.

To overcome this, UK police driving schools have for the past 60 years, taught commentary driving. Describing exactly what you are seeing, thinking, and what you are doing as you drive helps to develop a high visual  driving horizon - so you always scan your eyes to 'main beam'. This gives more information, more time to assess, superior hazard perception skills and unhurried, skilful, polished driving.

You will be amazed at how much this DVD will improve your driving and hazard perception with just a little practice, whether you are a learner or an advanced driver.

You don't need to learn commentary skills to benefit from the DVD. Customers have told us that just comparing their own observation with the expert observation in this DVD has helped to improve their depth of vision, vision scans and hazard perception.
