What are the main things you teach in the Senior Copilot System?
We teach (a) the “See it and Say it” driving technique. This technique has been taught to law enforcement officers since the early 1940s and is standard operating procedure for all new drivers in Canada. It teaches drivers how to be far more observant and how to anticipate hazards before they develop by narrating what is going on around them. Second, we provide an AUDIO COPILOT which helps to eliminate distractions while continually prompting the driver to be highly aware of his or her surroundings. Third, we teach visual SCANNING techniques which shows senior drivers how to avoid tunnel vision and to see the big picture while driving. Next, we provide a PRE-DRIVE CHECKLIST which is employed at the start of every drive. This component sets a tremendous tone for safety throughout the commute.
