A tool used by carriers to get a better insurance quote from insurance companies. A nice thing to have when a compliance audit is done by state or fed. Also a good defense point in court in the case of an accident, it documents ( via a certificate on completion ) that the driver has been trained specifically to be 1- a defensive driver resulting in 2- a safer driver. -

I've always thought the first one: "aim high in steering" should be called "look really really far down the road".
bottomdumpin Thanks this. -
What the name of Hades do they mean by "aim high in steering"???? Your steering wheel takes you left or right. Not up or down! Someone educate me!
-
I always thought it meant to swing really wide when turning

I never used any of the so called systems, so far 42 years, no accidents, no incidents, and no Tickets. So I must be doing something right. I run Downtown Chicago, and the Suburbs.
Maybe I should make one up? NAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHstreet beater Thanks this.
