Behavioral Issues in Driving

ABOUT US

There are varying levels of expertise among trainers and coaches, and driving instructors are no exception. You’re only as good as the effort you put in. In any profession, some individuals excel, attracting learners from across the country and the world who aspire to be the best in their field. Would you join just any college or university? They all offer certifications, but is one certification of far more value than others? We’ve all had that one teacher who stood out, leaving a lasting impression through their exceptional guidance.

Dean is passionate about road safety, with knowledge that spans every aspect of defensive driving techniques designed to keep families safe. He holds an MTO (Ministry of Transportation) license, along with additional certifications in Defensive Driving and Driver Improvement, as well as a Classroom Instructor license. Dean has also trained for a Tractor-Trailer (AZ) license and is a leading authority on collision avoidance strategies that are effective in today’s driving environment.

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.
