Our new driving distraction video, "Are You Playing With A Full Deck?" takes a look at the world of driving distractions, as well as our ability to detect problems and deal with them when our attention is split. Of course dealing with distractions while driving is an everyday occurrence and habitually utilizing the 5 Keys will help drivers control many of the risks. The early awareness of potential problems and space to avoid those last second surprises is the essence of the Smith System. Space, Visibility and the resulting Time are our solutions to the distracting problems faced daily as we drive. While we believe we have focused more than enough of our attention to the task of driving, this video shows us we are regularly distracted by any number of sources and how to manage the resulting dangers. What about the drivers who are distracted in vehicles around us? How do we protect ourselves from the mistakes of so many drivers who share the road with us daily? Explore the solutions in this thought provoking presentation, as we view distracted drivers dealing with the problems of everyday traffic. Learn how the danger of inattentive drivers combined with moments of high risk in traffic, to create "Danger Spikes". As drivers travel through their day, they often face these "Danger Spikes" and are forced to make last second decisions and react. The driver's ability to recognize the conditions which lead to "Danger Spikes" and control them may be the difference between a collision and a close call. Learn how to identify these moments in your drive and take early action to manage your risk.
