Most drivers drive with their eyes on ‘dipped’ …
Driving with eyes on ‘dipped beam’ is a very common fault which produces reactionary driving. In other words, reacting to hazards when they present themselves, rather than anticipating and planning for them. Reactionary driving is unsafe, uncomfortable for passengers, and not an economic way of driving. The photo above shows how with eyes on ‘dipped’ you only see what’s just in front of you.
How to drive with eyes on ‘main beam’….
To overcome this, UK police driving schools have for the past 60 years, taught commentary driving. Describing exactly what you are seeing, thinking, and what you are doing as you drive helps to develop a high visual driving horizon – so you always scan your eyes to ‘main beam’. This gives more information, more time to assess, superior hazard perception skills and unhurried, skilful, polished driving, the hallmark of advanced driving.
Full commentary 999 run …
An example of how commentary develops the driving thought process the DVD opens with Chris responding to a 999 call in a 3.0 litre Met. Police vehicle, then later, driving a 58 seat coach and then an 18 metre long articulated lorry, all with full detailed running commentary.
Chris will unlock the mysteries of commentary driving…
Chris will explain and demonstrate, in easy stages, the best method of teaching yourself commentary driving. Building from basics up to police advanced level. Many people are put off commentary driving as they try to cram too much in, their driving suffers and they give up. Knowing how to start commentary driving is very important. We are convinced that If every driver learnt just the basics of commentary driving, the collision rate would reduce overnight.
You will be amazed at how much this DVD will improve your driving and hazard perception with just a little practice, whether you are a learner or an advanced driver.
