DriveSafe Announces Defensive Skills Day Classes For Distracted Driving Awareness Month

DENVER, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, April 3, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In recognition of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, DriveSafe Driving Schools announces open enrollment for their Defensive Skills Day. The class not only focuses on distracted driving prevention, but it gives students hands-on experience in learning how to handle and recover from unexpected challenges of the road. All the exercises emphasize the importance of mental attentiveness.

- The Exercises Include:

- Activities with drunk goggles
- Distracted/Texting while driving
- How to control a car while skidding
- How to maneuver a vehicle away from unexpected hazards
- Precision driving in tight spaces

In a controlled environment, DriveSafe enables students to experience, and practice managing several driving obstacles in action. The goal of the texting & driving activity is to emphasize how distracted driving is both difficult and dangerous, which can compromise your’s, and others’ safety. DriveSafe also runs an activity using drunk goggles, to simulate the sensory struggles while intoxicated.

In conjunction with distracted driving scenarios, DriveSafe further teaches the importance of staying alert so drivers can effectively handle emergencies or potentially life threatening situations on the road. As a school based in Colorado, many drivers will experience winter weather conditions. To prepare drivers for these circumstances, DriveSafe teaches students how to maneuver a vehicle while sliding. Additionally, they teach how to steer to avoid sudden hazards, which could include dodging debris on the highway (slalom), three-point turnabout in tight spaces, and emergency swerves.

DriveSafe instructors guide students through each of the activities to increase skill and comfort levels. They teach with a non-fear based approach, and foster confidence in drivers through exposure, expertise, and repetition.

DriveSafe offers their Defensive Skills Day on weekends at Jeffco Stadium, EVOC Training Facility, Chaparral High School, Dicks’s Sporting Goods Park, and Water World, with more locations to come in the Denver Metro area.
