Course Description:

It’s all about attitude . . .
This is the course that everyone is talking about. The half-day interactive Thinking Driver Course™ teaches drivers how to reduce stress, manage frustration and control anger on today’s busy roads.
By learning effective thinking skills, drivers are able to shift attitudinal gears, take responsibility for their emotional reactions while driving, choose positive actions to avoid confrontation, and stay safe and out of harm’s way.

About the course:

The Thinking Driver Course™ is the only course that addresses driver attitude in an effective and respectful way. Rather than just watching videos, which have little impact and preach to drivers, the course is fully interactive with drivers discussing driving challenges and solutions based on personal motivation.

Thinking Driver™ addresses the root causes of aggressive driving and helps drivers change the way they think, feel and behave behind the wheel.

The course utilizes advanced psychological and counseling techniques to change the way drivers see the actions of others and develop more effective responses. Anger management tools are a key component of the course content.

The course appeals to a broad audience from fleet drivers to daily commuters and is of special interest to Fleet Supervisors and Managers who are interested in the added benefit that attitude training provides in fuel savings, reduced vehicle abuse and discourtesy resulting in complaints against drivers.
