MIND DRIVING

Approved and recommended by the Driving Instructors Association in the UK: "An amazing book... a genuine breakthrough in the field of road safety, that could revolutionise the way

people learn to drive... Every driver should read this book. No one involved in driver training or road safety can afford to be without it."

Further endorsements inside the book include the RAC Foundation, the AA Motoring Trust and other experts in road safety and driving.

Other recommendations include:

On Board Training "This is one of the

best training workshops I have had in 9yrs of driver training. The information and ideas sit exceptionally well to be integrated with and fill the gaps with DSA and Roadcraft publications. Seeds have been sown, now the ideas need to be cultivated and used to
best effect." (Training Director).This was a four day Mind Driving event of driving instructor workshops and seminar talks, organised by OBT. Read more...

Care Motoring"Our ethos is that drivers should be safe for life, not just able to pass a test. Since we saw

Mind Driving it has been at the heart of our training - for young learners, advanced, nervous or elderly drivers. It unlocks the secrets of safe thinking, and we have proved these are teachable skills. Every driver who wants to be safe should read this book."

L of a way 2 Pass"As an experienced driving instructor, I find this book superb in teaching pupils the 'mental' skills that safe drivers must have. This is lacking in the current L-test, which is geared towards the 'physical' skills. If these skills

were used by instructors and included in the DSA syllabus, we would produce far safer novice drivers than we do today."

Progress Driver Training"On first hearing about Mind Driving we were sceptical about 'new'

techniques. But that totally changed when we got hold of a copy, and we now use the approach in our training of Learners and Instructors. The techniques are easily adopted in the car, and for trainee instructors this book is essential reading. We applaud the contribution that Mind Driving makes to road safety and driver education."

Mind Riding, the Expert rider course "We were so impressed with Mind Driving that we saw an immediate need to make the ideas available to motorcyclists. We have developed

the Mind Riding training course as a combination of study and on-road riding, based on Mind Driving as the core text. It captures what it means to master the skills of the Expert rider - enjoying themselves and riding safely. It really is about how you think!"

CIA Driver Training"We have begun using the core ideas of Mind Driving with our pupils. The approach gives

them a solid grounding in safety in addition to being prepared for the test. It makes them think and helps them learn some vital points more quickly. We are continuing to develop this teaching to be even more sure that we are training new drivers in all of the skills they need for a long and safe motoring career."

Cadence Driver Development, leading UK specialists in advanced and high performance driver coaching:"This thought-provoking book is a major

step forward in encouraging drivers to develop their 'thinking' - from novice through every stage
of essential ongoing driver development."

Under 17 Car Club"We run a structured programme to teach youngsters from age 11 to drive, developing both technical skills and

responsible attitudes. The best time to influence how drivers think is pre-licence, and Mind Driving fits this ethos perfectly. It explains the critical thinking skills in a way that is new but easy to use. Our novice drivers have much lower accident and conviction rates. We highly recommend the Mind Driving approach to all drivers and believe it should be built into Learner training as standard."

ClubDriving"A unique and interesting perspective on

the cognitive aspects of driving mastery. Rather than focusing on the motor skills, Mind Driving addresses what matters most in respect of driving safety - the human aspects of driving."

The Road, the Thinking Motorcyclist website:"We highly recommend

Mind Driving to all riders. For the first time it takes riding beyond the traditional Roadcraft method. It complements The System brilliantly, and shows riders how to drastically improve safety by taking real control of their road space. Just one especially critical idea for riders is to see themselves as part of hazards, and not simply victims of other drivers."

Drive & Survive"As a leading provider of assessment and coaching for business drivers, we wholeheartedly endorse the advice and guidance in this important new book. It mirrors the techniques we have promoted over the last 20 years, and even

experienced drivers will benefit from reading it."

Alphabet, part of the BMW Group: "Mind Driving is a highly innovative, precise

and carefully thought-through breakthrough in teaching driving skills. Promoting safety is a key part of Alphabet's similar approach to providing fleet funding and management

solutions and we are delighted to have been given permission to offer the 'Sense of Danger' section of Mind Driving as a free download from our website."

Institute of Master Tutors of Driving "A refreshing approach to driving which places emphasis on self-reliance, attitude and responsibility. A welcome addition to the shelves of driver training manuals."

Advanced Driving UK"Our core mission is to reduce young driver casualties, and we have selected Mind Driving as our

reference. It is a unique breakthrough in driving skill, that is fully centred on how drivers think. It will change your perception of safe driving, and we highly recommend it to all drivers."

Walkers Foods"To help extend its safety programme into the critical behavioural side of driving, Walkers held Mind Driving workshops run by

Stephen Haley for the trainers and managers. Feedback shows that this was extremely successful."The ongoing training programme for Walkers truck drivers now includes highly popular modules on Mind Driving.

Watford & District Driving Instructors Association"Brilliant presentation. All the attendees were highly impressed and have not stopped talking about the ideas. We have written to the DSA

asking them to give this approach serious consideration."

Newbury IAM"Many thanks for your superb talk last night - everybody was highly impressed. This was, by far, the most successful and stimulating Group evening that I can remember."This

talk included a new section on Young Drivers.

Bristol IAM"Stephen's approach makes so much sense and you wonder why it's not been adopted by the DSA many years ago. Our group chief observer kept uttering "brilliant" and "stunning"

during the talk and he's been 'into' advanced driving for quite some years. We wholeheatedly recommend Stephen's talk to other IAM/ROSPA groups."

Berkshire Driving Instructors "Thank you for an excellent talk. We've had lots of feedback saying how good it was, and how much

everyone enjoyed it. The committee are keen to consider holding a workshop, and we will be contacting you again."

Suffolk RoADAR"Thanks for a great talk. Feedback from members has been positive, an interesting way of looking at

driver training, especially from someone outside the industry. We look forward to seeing your progress with the DSA."

Thames Valley RoADAR"Thank you for what was a very popular session on Wednesday evening. It's a challenge to find something

new and interesting. I've had yet more positive feedback even since emailing you. I have no doubt we would benefit from another session at some point so I will be in touch in future."

Oxford IAM"Your talk got a rave review from a lot of our members. I had quite a number thanking me at this months meeting for arranging

it, so passing on the thanks – Thanks Steve!!"

Solent Advanced Motorcyclists "Thanks for a 'knock-out' presentation last night. The members seemed enthralled. We will be contacting IAM HQ about this approach."

Drivers Domain UK "Mind Driving is a

much needed book, that successfully addresses what real world safe driving is all about and why accidents happen... all done in a way that will make the general public sit up and take notice. We will be recommending Mind Driving to all our trainees and customers."

Association of Industrial Road Safety Officers highly recommends Mind Driving. AIRSO is the highly respected and influential road safety organisation

which includes some of the most prominent figures in the industry. They also run the annual Blue Light Users Conference.
