Author Stephen Haley wrote the book “Mind Driving” as a direct result of the frustrations of being unable to articulate to his children exactly what constituted ‘good driving’.

“Mind Driving” is an exciting new driver manual with an innovative approach to the mental process behind expert driving.

Driving is the probably the most dangerous thing that people do, but true driving ability is still the most neglected element in the current road safety strategies to reduce casualties.  Government constantly advises motorists to ‘Think! Road Safety’ but does little to expand on this simplistic message. Advice is one thing but motorists need more to enable them to think about their actions and appreciate how they can direct their thought processes.

Mind Driving disseminates the driving process from the perspective of hazard perception, risk assessment and decision making – starting with the information from eyes and brain and how to send safe decisions to the hands and feet.

Steve said: “When I asked people to define safe driving it was all hands and feet rather than eyes and brain, but safe driving for life is so much more than this. “Driving is a mental exercise about the choices you make rather than a physical one about the actions you take.“When the thinking is right, the right actions will follow and the more I dwelled on this the more this seemed to be the holy grail of safe driving.”Mind Driving details how expert drivers think and brings to light the major causes danger on the road.  It then leads the reader step-by-step to an understanding of how to control the danger, how to make life-saving decisions and how to enjoy driving – safely at all times. 

This book is for every driver and every driving teacher.  It has the capacity to change the way we drive, how we think about driving and will go a long way to help in the reduction of road traffic incidents.
