People are naturally curious.
When we walk around, sit on a bench, ride our bikes, drive down the road, we are always looking around. As a driving school we want you to continue to always look around. For whatever reason, most of us stop looking around when we are driving. Looking around and observing is healthy. It helps you understand what’s going on around you.
By understanding what’s going on around you, you can prepare for what might happen.
At Fire N Ice Driving Academy, we spend a lot of time observing as well. We have taken our observations and joined forces with our partners to improve our driver training programs and procedures.
One of the most common observations we noted was the number of drivers at a gas station that cannot find the oil cap on their vehicle. Another observation was the number of drivers on the side of the road that do not know how to change a tire. Even worse, some drivers did not know where or if they have a compact spare or donut tire.
At Fire N Ice Driving Academy, we will always spend time observing life around us, and listening to our students, partners, friends, and the public about their driving concerns. By doing so, Fire N Ice Driving Academy will continue to progress and adapt to the needs of our students.
