"Mind Driving" - Advanced Driving UK's Chosen Refe

[Darren]

In continuing its efforts to change the face of road safety in the UK, Advanced Driving UK has selected the new book "Mind Driving" by Stephen Haley as its reference source. Advanced-Driving.co.uk is the UK's largest online Advanced Driving Community, with over 400,000 hits per month. Mind Driving is essential reading for everyone wishing to undertake further or Advanced Driver training recommended by users and contributors on the website.

The book explains that expert drivers use much more than their "hands and feet" skills. Safe driving is actually a 95% thinking task, and is about actively controlling risk. But this is not how new drivers are taught, or how many experienced motorists drive. Too many people see driving as all about car control and fast reactions, rather than the thought processes involved. Safety is ultimately in how we think behind the wheel - which comes well before the "hands and feet" take the actions. This is a radical view of driving in the UK, because major motoring organisations still concentrate on the mechanical activity inside the vehicle - more than on how to make correct decisions first about what to make the vehicle do.

Darren Tipton, Founder of Advanced Driving UK said, "Our mission from Day One has been about doing things differently to help reduce young driver casualties. Adopting Mind Driving as our reference source is a core part of moving in that direction".

Since its launch in the House of Commons last September, the book has received some outstanding reviews in the motoring press. From now on, every new member of Advanced Driving UK has the option to receive a copy of Mind Driving as part of the package aimed at helping them improve their own driving and reduce their crash risk.

Stephen Haley, author of Mind Driving said, "For Advanced Driving UK to adopt Mind Driving is a significant step in the effort to reduce road casualties. Their rapid growth and special focus on young drivers creates an even greater opportunity to make a real difference".

I expect naturally talented drivers with the best possible attitude and skills could manage without it, but I think it is an extremely worthy book - so it should be very useful.

Best wishes all,
