As later pages demonstrate, crashes are not rocket science, but misleading information about them is rife, particularly with regard to the role of speed. This is super frustrating because it detracts from what we should all be aiming for, which is a clear understading of what really causes crashes,

Forget talk of autonomous vehicles for 2040 then. Lets work tirelessly towards minimising human error in driving today. This is why a “thinking skills” revolution needs to be embedded into driver training and licensing – Reform No 2 in our Campaign. This, combined with the restoration of proper road traffic policing, (Reform 3) should have a significant effect in casualty reduction.

Better, we say, for drivers to raise their game by developing a clear, honest and realistic understanding as to why crashes happen in the first place, devoid of media propaganda and dogma from the ‘road safety industrial complex’. Drivers can then take pride in their driving and behave virtuously and responsibly on the road once more.

The vast majority of drivers want take resposibilty for their actions which is to be encouraged because better drivers make for better human beings. Driving should be a pleasure not a chore and certainly never be micro-managed by a ‘nanny state’ far removed from where the rubber meets the road.

Mind Driving teaches that to become better at what they do, drivers need to focus on the thinking skills that have been neglected in their training and certification.

Competence in these skills is essential to reduce the risk of crashes in the humanitarian quest to save their own and others lives. This should take place in the spirit of lifelong learning; the continuous, never-ending improvement of driving skills through experience, knowledge and reflection which is both enjoyable, satisfying end engaging.
