Foul Weather Driving Training Video Now Available
from Smith System - Trains drivers on how to adapt and stay safe in inclement weather
- Arlington, TX – August 26, 2003—Smith
System, the leader in professional driver training, today announced the
availability of The Keys to Foul Weather Driving, its newest training
video that teaches drivers how to adjust to changing weather and road
conditions. The video demonstrates how to handle dangerous driving situations
using the Smith System’s “Five Keys to Space Cushion Driving,”
a time-tested driver training method.
“A driver that relies on fair weather skills when driving in foul
weather is more likely to have a vehicle incident than a driver who is
trained to adapt,” said Tony Douglas, president of Smith System.
“Safely driving in foul weather is a challenge that can be met with
experience and driver education.”
The video addresses the unique challenges of driving in inclement weather,
including:
Driving in low visibility
Following and stopping distance
Being seen and communicating with other drivers
Braking and maintaining traction
Dealing with skidding and hydroplaning
