Driver Responsibility

$55.00

The Driver Responsibility course focuses on the “x-factor” of driving; which is the values and attitudes of drivers. If we never change driver-thinking errors, we can never change driver behavior. It all starts with our personal way of being; who we are without thinking who we are. Research shows that most all drivers have the basic skills to drive correctly, but many lack the cognitive skills of patience and empathy.

COURSE OVERVIEW

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course on cognitive driving skills was designed for all drivers, regardless of age, who have exhibited a lack of proper driving values, attitudes, and behaviors.

This is perhaps the only traffic workbook in the nation that combines cognitive restructuring with traditional traffic curriculum. Notice that the workbook spends a lot of time and effort in the cognitive domain
to challenge driver’s faulty thinking, and less in the affective domain. Highlights in the workbook include Unit 5, which covers emotional factors, and Unit 6, which covers physical factors. Each unit sets the stage for the next unit and focuses on the ACCI motto:

If we keep on thinking the way we have been thinking, we will keep on getting what we have been getting. If we want to change what we have been getting, we will have to change what we have been thinking.
