Training Objectives

Identify the dangers of visual, manual, and cognitive distractions

Recognize the signs of impairment from fatigue, alcohol, or medications

Course Overview

A defensive driver is only as effective as their level of focus.

This section tackles the two biggest threats to road safety: distraction and impairment. We break down the four types of distractions, visual, auditory, manual, and cognitive, and why "multitasking" behind the wheel is a dangerous myth. You will also learn to recognize the subtle signs of impairment, which isn't limited to alcohol or illegal drugs. Fatigue and over-the-counter medications can slow your reaction times just as severely.

We provide strategies for staying "in the zone," such as silencing notifications and knowing when you are too tired to drive. By keeping your mind clear and your hands free, you ensure your defensive skills are ready when you need them most.

Yes; many over-the-counter or prescription drugs cause drowsiness or slowed reflexes, which are forms of impairment.

Driving while exhausted can be just as dangerous as driving drunk, as both significantly impair your judgment, coordination, and reaction speed.
