When most of us learn to drive, we are essentially taught "the rules of the road"; the location of the pedals and nothing more. No wonder driving is so DANGEROUS! "The Art of Intelligent Driving" picks up where Driver's Ed leaves off. It dispels common myths about driving and replaces them with effective techniques and knowledge that work.

Look at driving in a whole new way. You will gain an increased understanding of your actions behind the wheel and your car's responses to them. No race-driving techniques, just safe driving techniques.

New and experienced drivers alike will find this video highly informative. Parents with teenage drivers will want them to study this video often. Help make America's roads safer . . . practice "The Art of Intelligent Driving".

The Host: Jonathan Kinberg is a graduate of the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance DrivingTM. He has been engaged in automotive engineering and performance driving for more than twenty five years. He is also an experienced race driver and licensed member driver in the Sports Car Club of AmericaTM.

From the Director
"There is a lot that should go into driver training to make all of us safer drivers and reduce accidents. Unfortunately, after the typical driver training classes we go out on the road and learn through trial and error - and sometimes with fatal results. There is simply too much knowledge about handling a car that drivers are never taught. Consequently most of us drive around thinking that we're safe - until something unexpected happens and we' re immediately forced outside of our comfort zone. All of us need to know more about how to be a safer, more intelligent driver." - Jonathan Kinberg, Host of The Art of Intelligent Driving

If You Own A Car You Need This DVD
Most people who drive should be considered armed and stupid. They have a license to operate a complicated and dangerous piece of equipment with only the minimal state-approved training to do so.

This DVD changes all that. Its an intensive and authoritative explanation of how cars SHOULD be operated in a way that maximizes economy and safety. Everyone with a driver's license THINKS they know how to drive. They don't. But if they watched this video, they would.

If you drive a car you need this DVD!

Especially helpful for new drivers, but great for all ages
This video really helped me feel much more comfortable behind the wheel. This DVD is really well structured, easy to understand, very interesting and really keeps your attention. I liked all the sections about how to properly use the brakes to avoid lockups and skids. I realized after watching this DVD that there was a lot that goes into driving, handling the car and what you need to pay attention to on the road. This DVD helped to heighten my awareness of the many things that I need to be aware of that can actually make me a smarter and safer driver. Even simple things like how to safely take a sharp turn or the smoothest ways to merge onto the highway or safely exit the highway are great. I think especially for new drivers this DVD can help give them some essential knowledge beyond just teaching them the meanings of street signs and traffic rules. If more drivers took driving this seriously and paid attention and actually understood what they think they understand about driving there might be fewer wrecks. I think this video helps the viewer understand that driving is not supposed to be a joyride, but something we try to do responsibly and with better knowledge than most people have. Let's face it almost none of us are professionally trained, expert drivers - learn from one who is.

A Real Eye Opener!
I agree with the reviewer from the mid-west, this video could just prevent your teenager or other loved one from having an accident. The thing I liked about this video is that it isn't focused on passing the driving test. That's the whole point. Just learning enough to pass the driver's test doesn't make us smart or safe drivers. It just means we know trafic laws and rules like the video says.

This video really has a bunch of good info about what makes cars tick and how to control them safely. A little more info about driving in the snow might have been good, but this is still an excellent session. The author really knows his stuff and does a great job explaining things that I didn't know about even after 30 years of driving!

My kids and family's life is definitely worth doing my homework and watching this video several times. I too liked the part about eliminating blind spots by setting your mirrors properly. I will feel much better with my teenagers getting a good understanding of the information in this tape. Hopefully there will be some sequels to cover additional stuff like driving in snow or what to do if your car breaks down or even simple car maintenance for teenagers. Great job!
