The fact is that over 3/4 of all traffic accidents are
caused solely by driver or rider error. Little, if any, further
training is ever taken by the majority of drivers after passing
the basic "L" test. Advanced/defensive driver training
concentrates on four key areas:
1) Observation
2) Concentration
3) Awareness
4) Restraint.
Most drivers possess the majority of attributes
to become a more efficient and safer driver but few choose to use
them. After all, once we have passed the basic "L" test
there seems to be little incentive to improve our skill level. Many drivers believe
it's the other driver who is not road worthy and therefore to blame. For
