Course overview
The world is full of bad drivers. Do you know someone who starts and stops abruptly, always throwing their foot on the gas or the brakes? It's not a good experience riding with them, nor is it safe being on the road with that driver. And for the record, it's not good for the car, either. In this program, we'll talk about the importance of driving smoothly and consistently, versus using a lead foot. We'll give some tips on how to brake and accelerate smoothly and safely.
