Current driver training programs in the US train students in parking lots, or on high performance race tracks. As a result they are forced to provide training curriculum focused on mastery of driving skills e.g. slide control. Research indicates that this type of training actually produces unintended results because it increases the student's self-estimated skill level. This leads to a false sense of confidence or a feeling of insecurity - both of which can lead to danger on the road. The net result, according to extensive research, is a greater potential for accidents (source DAN report 2000). Furthermore, these training methods combined with lack of control of the driving environment mean driving instructors can't objectively measure a student's skill. DriveRSTC™ training curriculum was developed to help students understand their actual skill level, and the physical limitations of their vehicle while providing feedback to instructors.


A Controlled Environment is Key to Learning
The only way to align a student's actual skill level with their self-estimated skill level is to teach students the reality of road situations and vehicle limitations in a measurable and controlled environment safe for students, and for their autos. Once ego is tamed, the student can be taught. Through failure and success simulations, students learn to understand their own limitations, as well as the physical limitations of their vehicle. They see that they are not invincible. DriveRSTC™ provides a controlled environment whereby instructors can safely push students beyond the threshold of control in a realistic and protected manner. The result is that students have a realistic self-estimation of their own driving skills, and a true respect for the potential dangers when driving vehicles based on the laws of physics.
