Behavioral Issues in Driving

Dean has a deep interest in understanding how behaviors relate to operating a motor vehicle.

ABOUT US

At Dean’s, we understand the critical importance of exceptional driver training. Driving, whether in a small car or a larger vehicle, inherently carries risks for the driver, passengers, and everyone on the road. We opened our doors in response to the concerning lack of quality training on our roads, as well as the dangerous trend of cutting corners to appeal to budget-conscious drivers. If you examine the statistics and dangers we face daily, you’ll quickly realize that opting for inexpensive training may end up costing more—both in the short and long term.


At Dean’s, we cater to clients who take their driving responsibilities seriously. They understand that driving is one of the riskiest activities they’ll engage in throughout their lives. However, we also emphasize the enjoyment and freedom that driving offers—getting to your destination safely and efficiently. Our goal is to provide the best training experience in Ontario, ensuring that you not only learn to drive, but also feel confident and capable on the road. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned driver, we go above and beyond to make your training unforgettable.


At Dean’s, we treat you like part of our family, not just a one-time customer. The trust and referrals we receive from our clients drive us to continuously improve and excel in what we do. Our mission is simple: to keep families safe from motor vehicle collisions and, most importantly, to prevent bodily injury to every occupant of a car. We take great pride in providing training that prioritizes safety, awareness, and responsibility on the road. Your safety is our commitment, and we work hard every day to ensure that you, and everyone you share the road with, are well-prepared to handle any situation that comes your way.

Everyone remembers the advice your mom and dad gave you when you were just a wee toddler: “Look both ways before you cross the street.” Remember that? How many times were you given that advice? Did we listen?
We conducted live street surveys across Markham, Toronto, and the surrounding areas, observing at least 1,000 drivers at busy intersections and side streets. You’ll be surprised to learn that an overwhelming 98% of experienced drivers did not scan or look both ways before entering the most dangerous intersections in Toronto. We found similar results on rural country roads and freeways.

Road Behaviors We Should Be Worried About...

Speeding, Tailgating, Road Rage, Distracted Driving… Are You Aware of The Risks?

Not only do we focus on driving skills and knowledge, but nowadays there is a huge emphasis on driving behaviors, which have dramatically declined over the last 10 years. Seemingly great people adopt a completely different demeanor when they become faceless behind dark-tinted windows. We used to assume that only young people under 30 were exhibiting these behaviors, but we are now noticing that individuals in their 50s, 60s, and beyond are showing a complete lack of road courtesy and breaking every driving regulation meant to keep us safe and civilized.

DEAN'S MESSAGE

At Dean’s Defensive Driving Training Centre we take Beginner Driver Education (BDE) very seriously. Our focus is on precision driving skills, knowledge, and behavior. On any given day we can expect 3-5 fatalities in the GTA due to a motor vehicle collision. The numbers are staggering when you consider the cost and impact of mild, moderate and serious injuries sustained to drivers, passengers and pedestrians. The rising cost of automobile liability insurance in most metropolitan areas, is resulting in motorists to pay out of their own pocket for collision damage to their vehicles. Inappropriate risk taking, reckless behaviour, impairments, lack of professional driver training, and distractions is a growing concern for all Ontario road users. I’m sure we all know someone who was injured or killed due to a driver’s negligence on the road. Experience has shown 98% of all motor vehicle collisions are avoidable even if the other driver was at-fault for a dangerous maneuver on the road.
