Principal
Craig spent 7 years globally researching driver education with a vision to change the paradigm in driver training through effective education. Craig had a strong belief that we could educate drivers to manage risks and avoid crash injuries regardless of fault and that the training was a significant contributing facture.
The result of that journey is a paradigm shift from what has been accepted for 50 years delivered as driving instruction. Analysing the significant amount of globally research, going back as far as 1956 allowed Craig to bridge the gap between theory and steering wheel as demonstrated in the Graduated Education System GES he developed.
Vision Zero is achievable when the driver education is delivered effectively using safe processes that manage all road user risks, the comprehensive program Craig has developed and tested with thousands of drivers from many driver groups (see listed below) Learner, Disabilities, Adult, Rehab, Senior, Fleet, Defensive. Mentor, Driver coaches.
