PoliceDriver.Com is a source of information for Law Enforcement Driving Instructors, EVOC, and drivi It is an integral part of driver training.
PoliceDriver.Com is a source of information for the Professional Driving Instructor. The site is based on the principle that vehicle dynamics is the foundation of all driver training programs. As a driver trainer, at any level of instruction, in-depth knowledge of vehicle dynamics is a must. Understanding vehicle dynamics can increase the level of professionalism of the trainer and their program.
The Driver Training Profession
As a driver trainer, at any level of instruction, in-depth knowledge of vehicle dynamics is a must. Vehicle Dynamics
For decades, there has been research and data that allows the driver trainer to better understand how drivers make decisions in emergencies. The result of this research is the advancements in creating proactive driver training – measuring driving skill and survivability in an emergency. For some inexplicable reason, most of this information is largely ignored by the driver training community. When considering the lifesaving skills that need to be taught, driver training cannot be based on personal opinion or unsubstantiated doctrine. The Science of Driving
Most trainers shy away from using the science of driving as a training tool. For most people, their only exposure to the science and the laws of physics is what they were taught in high school. With all due respect to high schools, the subject is mired in books and seems to have no practical value.PoliceDriver.com will explain the laws of physics and their application to driver training in a clear and easy-to-understand manner.

Three Seconds to Safety
Tony Scotti's booklet, Three Seconds to Safety, provides crucial information on avoiding carjacking, including the necessary ingredients for a carjacking and steps that can be taken to mitigate the risk. It was written in the late 1980s for a company producing shatterproof glass and quickly became a hit with corporations, serving as a guide for vehicle safety. Despite its age, the information contained within the booklet is still relevant today. The title refers to the three seconds it takes to put enough distance between oneself and a potential carjacking threat.

Is there anything better…
…than having the opportunity to work closely with highly experienced, forward thinking professionals who are committed to providing their students with the tactics, techniques, and tools needed to achieve exceptional performance?
As far as the VDI team is concerned, there is absolutely nothing better!
Which helps explain why the team found as much value in sharing knowledge, experience, and insights into training design, development, and delivery, with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Department Defensive Tactics Instructors, as those trainers indicated that they had during the after action review of the three day Vehicle Centric Defensive Tactics for Defenders instructor certification course they participated in this past weekend.
Making the experience even more impactful - and enjoyable - for VDI’s VCDT Training Team as well as the EBRSO instructors, was having the opportunity to work directly with, and learn from, Sifu Alan Baker, the creator of the Vehicle Centric Defensive Tactics program, who is widely recognized as a true innovator and disrupter when it come to designing and developing defensive tactics training programs.
Combining The Training Laboratory’s Live Lab methodology with the curiosity, passion, and open mindedness of the folks from EBRSO led to a number of breakthroughs in adopting new techniques, gaining different perspectives, refining existing techniques to better address evolving and emerging threats, and developing practical approaches for meeting the challenges which officers they train and work with face each and every day.

ICYMI - THE DRIVER’S EQUATION = DRIVER SURVIVABILITY
G's are a unit of measurement used to assess a driver's ability to navigate through various scenarios. It is an essential part of driver training, as even a tenth of a G can make a significant difference in emergency situations. The driver has control over this number, which can ultimately determine survivability in such events.
To understand how G's measure the force exerted on the center of gravity (CG) of a vehicle, we need to use an equation called the "Driver's Equation." Although the term "equation" may seem daunting to some, math is not about numbers, equations, or algorithms. Math is about understanding how things work.
In summary, G's are a standard unit of measurement used to assess vehicle/driver performance. The driver's ability to control this force is crucial in emergency situations, and it can be determined through the use of the "Driver's Equation."
