drive for life is a state-of-the-art simulator training program that lets you experience the widest range of challenging driving situations without being at risk.
Simulator Experience Saves. Experience is the most important element of driving a vehicle. There are a lot of variables at play when you drive your car. Previous experiences teach you how to anticipate danger and avoid accidents. Using drive for life's proprietary SPOT technique: Scan, Predict, Options, and Take action - you will learn how to effectively anticipate and react to different high risk driving situations in the future.
Royal & SunAlliance Insurance believes that drive for life will help improve driver safety for new drivers and has introduced new lower levels of insurance premiums to support this initiative for these drivers.
Why we created drive for life
The vast majority of driver training is geared to developing the basic skills to safely operate a vehicle. Since their inception, the course content of these Beginner Driver Education Programs has not dramatically changed; yet, the driving environment has become more complicated. On average, statistics highlight that approximately 25% of drivers have been in an accident over the past 5 years. There are significant financial penalties for being at fault in an automobile accident. Insurance premiums can increase by up to 50% and maintain that level for up to 6 years.
The drive for life simulator program gives you the chance to experience the hazards and dangers that are prevelant on the road today. You will develop the skills to avoid these situations in the future. The technology has proven itself in the world of law enforcement, transit authorities, the military and other commercial applications. Participants in simulator training have dramatically improved their driving skills resulting in lower accident rates. We have adapted this proven technology for the private sector.
