Driving Lessons

Every Driver is Different & State-Approved Programs Are Just Kindergarten...

Let's Be Honest...State Driving Programs Are Insulting.

They Teach You Like You’re a Moron…Seriously.

Government-controlled ANYTHING reduces everything to the lowest common denominator.  With a few exceptions, they have complete idiots in charge of our driving privilege on their often poorly designed/maintained roads.

So, folks who have very little understanding how a vehicle responds to driver input are trying to tell us what to do…it’s insulting, to say the least.

The Result?  Low-Performance Drivers Who Constantly Crash…sadly.

Well, That Ends Right Now…

Street Smarts Driving Presentations start by assuming you’re not an idiot.

Instead, after literally decades of Testing Different Teaching Methods nationwide to Newly Licensed Drivers, Law Enforcement, Racecar Drivers, and Car Enthusiasts, you’ll end up with a new way of FEELING what the car is doing, and INSTINCTIVELY react to get the desired result.

Imagine Thinking What You Want Your Car to Do & It Just Does It…Without You Thinking.

That’s what happens when you reach the Subconscious-Competent State of Driving.

So, instead of trying to recall a set of long-forgotten memorized rules, You Have a New-Found FEEL for how your body reacts to What Your Car Is Telling You.

…sounds crazy, but IF YOU’RE TAUGHT PROPERLY, it becomes completely natural.

Lessons begin by studying both hand- and foot-work in a low-pressure environment so drivers can learn how to adjust their seats and steering columns properly.  The object is eliminate distractions inside the cockpit and be in perfect harmony with the controls so they can become an extension of your thoughts.

Once the driver is comfortably seated, then a Discovery Session takes place at normal driving speeds.  Once on the road, speeds are slowly increased until car control is developed using a custom-tailored, step-by-step approach.

LESSONS

Using a Building-Block approach, you are stepped through a carefully honed driving instruction process that removes the fear of the limit...in fact, when finished, you'll crave it.
