'Advanced Driving' is an axiom that is often used, out of context, in driving schools and racetrack driving courses by people who suggest that knowing a few enhanced evasion techniques is enough to qualify for this description. True advanced driving, however, is solely concerned with public-road driving, not private tracks, and is fully planned towards avoiding any risky situation rather than rectifying one after it has started.
In other words, enhanced vehicle-handling techniques may be useful but represent only a small part of true advanced driving. Zooming around through coned obstacle courses and learning skid control, in isolation, will serve to make a driver faster, but do virtually nothing to teach that driver to be truly safe, above all when driving the speed limits, as police officers sometimes need to do.
The only proven line is based on something known as the Roadcraft "System of Car Control." This was founded by the police in Britain in 1935 all along with has been continuously refined by them since that time. It was created to reduce the number of crashes experienced by police officers and succeeded in doing so to the point that the crash rate fell to one sixth of its before level
Now drivers in the USA and Canada can learn true advanced driving.
One tune for emergency-service drivers that the writer of this item was taught from the outset of his own police advanced driver training, in Britain, is a classic but basic example of the nation in question:
"It is no good being sent to covenant with a serious road disaster if you cause another one yourself on your way there!"
