Overall interest

Very good. A wide variety of articles from different topics. The site was the “Training And Education” Section of Drivers.com. The article subjects ranged from “Driver Instruction In Germany” to “Proposed Definition Of Safe Driving.” The articles covered driving in the past, present and future. It was very easy to get a feel for the site layout. Each article title had a link. If you clicked on the title, you go to the article. When you are done with the article use the “Back” button in your browser and you go back to the main page with all the titles of the articles.

General Content

If I had to use only one website to find out every thing about driving, (Aside from Dr. James’) this would be it. It’s information on different driving topics is very extensive. It’s called Drivers.com, so it HAS to have a lot of information about driving!

“Austria Driving Training Centers” (Click Here To View Article)

What they did in Austria is an excellent idea. The Austrian Automobile, Motorcycle and Touring Club (OAMTC). built two “Driver Training Centers.” Instead of making it a boring, dry experience where no one would attend unless the had to, they made the training center a fashionable, fun, and entertaining place to attend. They treat the driver as the center of attention. Some of the Driving Center’s features are: A driving “Kindergarten" area for unlicensed drivers to practice. A skid pad, where experienced drivers are taught basic skid recovery and collision-avoidance techniques. And also motorcycle, truck, and bus training areas. I think this is a great idea! It’s too bad we don’t have something like that in the States.

I thought this one was kind of funny. A Canadian beer manufacturer sponsored a collision avoidance technique program. I suppose this is like Phillip Morris donating money to charities. It’s just to improve their image. I thought you guys would get a kick out of that.
