Driving Courses
Instinctive and Evasive Driver Training
A comprehensive hard surface driving program designed for drivers to become more instinctive and reactionary in the processes associated with crash avoidance. This will afford students the opportunity to expand their awareness beyond the confines of the vehicle.
Analytical studies of assaults on government and corporate personnel indicate that most incidents occur during times of travel in a motor vehicle. G4SITI incorporates practical exercises to make students aware of their surroundings and become more instinctive in their driving habits. Some of the topics that are taught include; vehicle dynamics, high speed driving, attack recognition and attack response, evasive maneuvers, and attack scenarios.
The Instinctive and Evasive Driver Training G4SITI offers can be accomplished in one day or over the course of several days. Our facility provides students a variety of vehicle’s that consist of; Sedans, SUV’s, Armored Vehicles, or a combination of vehicles G4SITI uses.
Instinctive Driver Training Phase One
The course of instruction will begin in the classroom with the students receiving an informational brief about vehicle considerations and characteristics. In Training Phase One, students will learn the proper use of the eyes, vehicle dynamics, proper braking techniques for both conventional brakes (Non ABS) and ABS, proper steering techniques, weight transfer management, and the use of driveable terrain. Upon completion of these drills students will test what they have learned by performing skills in practical exercises. By applying all the lessons of becoming a more instinctive and reactionary driver students will have to maneuvering their vehicle safely to avoid an imminent roadway emergency.
Instinctive Driver Training Phase Two
This phase of training will offer students the opportunity to become familiar with close proximity driving. While driving in rural areas may be relatively easy, driving in a city environment changes the dynamics for vehicle capabilities and the driver’s attention. By using peripheral vision and getting familiar with driving within inches of other vehicles students receive a better understanding of driving within close quarters.
Instinctive Driver Training Phase Three
Students will receive a brief classroom lecture before challenging themselves to drive at speeds above their comfort level, while maintaining control of the vehicle driving. This phase will give the students the experience of vehicle capabilities and characteristics at higher speeds. While driving at a high rate of speed, students will understand the method of applying balanced braking, right, and left hand turns cornering techniques, and whole road line of sight driving.
Evasive Driving Techniques
Evasive driving techniques can be dangerous and evenly deadly if not used appropriately or with a reason to act. Evasive driving techniques can be used if there is no other way to avoid, evade, or, escaping an eminent threat. Students will learn and apply evasive driving techniques such as backing, ramming, and surgical/ (PIT) maneuvers. Upon completion of evasive driving drills, students will demonstrate what they have learned by applying all techniques through scenario based training.
Off-Road and Specialty Vehicle Driver Training
Students will learn not only the mechanics of the 4x4 drive train and mechanical operation, but traction demands, shift points and proper gear selection. Practical exercises include proper off-road braking, acceleration, obstacle avoidance, emergency reactions, recovery techniques and a challenging obstacle course. The culmination of training is an unknown terrain driving exercise, combining all elements of training.
Advanced Driver and Crash Avoidance Training
The Advanced Driver Training and Crash Avoidance course is designed specifically for young drivers to help them prepare for real life experiences on the road. The course includes classroom instruction and hands on driving practicals. Instructors will provide students with the knowledge to become more instinctive drivers by introducing a more proactive skill set they can use behind the steering wheel. This course trains students to recognize all aspects of an emergent driving situation and execute safe, viable, and realistic driving options to avoid or mitigate a crash.
