ADULT DRIVERS EDUCATION
Seventy-five percent of drivers
never receive instruction beyond learning how to pass their first
license exam. Those who do seek to sharpen their skills are likely
nudged toward instruction by the promise of lower car-insurance
premiums or a reduction of traffic-violation penalties. Tri Area
Driving School will be offering driving instruction to any adult,
available 7 days a week, to busy persons eager to sharpen their
skills for any reason." We see it as a refresher class," says Al
Treichel, President and Owner of Tri Area Driving School, "when in
fact many older drivers never had a formal driver's education."
Offered in locations all over the Tri-City Area, these classes train
hundreds of drivers each year. Although designed for people who
require driving instruction, the program welcomes students of any
situation.
Drivers as young as 30 are today operating cars with new features:
airbags, anti-lock brakes, cell phones, to name a few - that
were not present in the vehicle with which they learned to drive.
Airbags rewrote the rules about seat and steering wheel positioning;
anti-lock brakes changed the way safe drivers should react in an
emergency. Both are good reasons to revisit and adjust driving
techniques. For seniors, the advances in automotive technology are
even more dramatic. Several students once remarked to Treichel that
even passenger-side mirrors were rare when they learned to drive.
All drivers can benefit from additional driving education - whether
a refresher course or back-to-basics overhaul - and they don't have
to share a classroom with rowdy teens celebrating their learner
permits. Options abound for drivers who already have licenses to
improve their safety and enjoyment on the road.
