- and start to change how you use your eyes and how you think when you are driving.
---------------------------------------------------
"Many drivers drive with their eyes on dipped and seldom change them to main beam. This very common problem results in reaction, rather than anticipation, it is the cause of many avoidable vehicle collisions and road deaths. Few things happen suddenly, the clues are there!" |
"I promise you that during your first drive after watching Ultimate Driving Craft, just once, you will quickly be aware that you are now very conscious of how you are using your eyes. You will be switching your eyes from 'dipped' to 'main beam' and back far more frequently. The safety factors and benefits of having extra information gained from a higher visual horizon will quickly become very apparent. You will also be aware that after a little practice, a simple commentary will change how you think when driving - you will become your own 'in-built' driving instructor talking yourself into best, safe, driving practice, and enjoy doing it!"
