INTRODUCTION TO THE FALCON CAR CLASSROOM

Do you know for over fifty years forcing students to drive around has been the only way they have been trained?  It’s always the students’ fault when 51.9% fail their 1st driving test and 51.1% fail it the 2nd time.  It’s always human error at fault when 43 % of 1st year drivers and 37% of 2nd year drivers are involved in vehicle crashes.  Why is the training never at fault?

In 2021, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated 203,256 young drivers (including teenagers) were injured in car crashes nationwide.  Human error (emotions) causes 90% of all car crashes.  Would training to control emotions reduce human error?

On December 10, 2023, Louise J. Wilson 17 was driving on I-45 around 1 a.m. in Texas.  She changed lanes, cut someone off, was shot and died at the scene.  I have seen students in their 7th lesson unable to make a safe lane change or park.  Would better training prevent this?

Working with several schools has taught me a lot about this one way driver training.  I observed one school owner force teenage students to drive around for five hours.  While on his iPhone, he ignored control errors, flattered and called them bro.  One student dangerously oversteered his turns (7th lesson).  Later, he failed his driving test.  Would better training prevent this?

Another owner said she had to fail one student on her driving test after she ran four stop signs.  Stopping past one stop sign is an automatic fail.  Her website says “Get your driver license within 2 days, 96% pass test 1st try”.  Does she pass students who only run three stop signs?

Driver education teaches driving angry, fearful and worried is as dangerous as drinking and driving.  Both cause red light and stop sign running, speeding and deadly road rage.  Ask any school how they use behind-the-wheel training to teach students to control their emotions.

Training adults moving to Texas has taught me a lot.  Many of them have been driving for years. They have difficulty learning hand-over-hand steering, driving in reverse and parallel-parking.  Their anger, fear and worry (emotions) have made me a much better and more patient teacher.  Teenage students have also taught me that they learn quicker because they are less emotional.

In 2019, to complete my instructor training, I had to observe instructors train students to drive.   Immediately, every student was forced to drive around on busy roads.  When one student started crying (fear), she was forced to continue to drive.  Immediately, I began creating parking lot drills to teach my students how to control their emotions before I put them on the road.

It took six years of hard work, care and competence to develop our behind-the-wheel training.  We use four powerful skills to train our students to control self (emotions), the vehicle and space.  Two are mental – concentration and awareness and two are practical – precision and timing.
