The Driving Task Defined:
Successful operating of any motor vehicle can be realized as the ability to
properly manage
three basic skills:
1. Smooth and Accurate Control of Speed & Steering
Mastery of speed and steering control, creates synergy between you and your
vehicle. Apex Driving School can help you get there through an ingenious
step by step program that systematically dissects virtually every aspect of
every driving technique. Driving techniques, i.e., changing lanes, parallel
parking, turnabouts, freeways, cornering etc., can be performed consistently
well by following easy to learn wheel patterns and specific reference points
on and around the vehicle. If you are somewhat accomplished in certain
areas, the step by step program can be used to help you in those areas where
you still lack confidence.
2. Understanding & Adherence to the Rules of the Road
The San Francisco Bay Area is world renown for its culturally diversity. And
as any world visitor would attest, the Bay Area's traffic patterns are also
one of the most diverse and complex systems anywhere. Assuming that's true
(and you'll find few arguments to the contrary) we believe it is truly a
blessing in disguise. In other words, New York, New York notwithstanding, if
you can make it here, you can DRIVE anywhere! As an Apex Driving School
graduate you will have had the pleasure of seeing just about every
conceivable, sign, signal and road marking. Therefore as your future travels
take you far and wide, there will be nothing there to catch you by surprise.
3. Proper Eye Moment, and the Ability to Recognize, and Reduce Risk
The Apex Driving School message "Safe Driving is NO Accident" means that
drivers are accountable for the consequences of not recognizing risk in time
to react. According to the statistics provide by the insurance company
industry 89% of all vehicular crashes can be attributed to human error.
However, you can't recognize what don't see. Thus we devised a training
program that will help you develop the ability to see and protect yourself
against the errors of others in the traffic scene. Another benefit of proper
eye movement is the confidence you'll gain. Most driving related fear is a
result of improper eye moment. Our reduction formula is simple: The more you
see the less you fear.
Learning To Last A Lifetime
Every student learns differently, and has unique needs. The way we connect
with information is like a the different channels received by a radio
antenna. We process information through visual, auditory, kinesthetic and
intuitive channels. We are trained to observe what type of mode works best
for you, and teach to your strengths. Just as important, we emphasize
methods that reinforce correct driving techniques. This nonjudgmental,
scientific approach to teaching creates a relaxed atmosphere that nurtures
your growing confidence.
