Advanced Driver Training

Press Release

Massquotes Recommends In Control Advanced Driver Training (ADT).

LYNNFIELD, MA (February 14, 2007 St. Valentine's Day)-Massachusetts Auto Insurance rates are too high. Part of the reason for this is the startling number of new drivers that get into catastrophic auto accidents.

Driving accidents are the #1 killer of teens in the United States. The rest of the top ten killers (#2 - #10) combined don't kill as many teens.

"Parents live in fear that their child will be involved in a horrible car crash. And they should be scared - driving a car is the most dangerous activity a teenager will undertake. When parents give their kids the keys to the car, they are willingly putting them in mortal danger for the first time", said Ian M. Wallis, CEO, In Control ADT.

In Control's Advanced Driver Training program is designed to significantly reduce the risks associated with being a new driver. This program will reduce the possibility of young drivers being involved in a serious accident involving loss of life, serious injuries, and/or property damage. By taking the class drivers significantly improve their ability to recognize dangerous situations, understand limitations and handle their vehicle in an emergency situation.

Research has revealed that advanced driver training programs reduce the number of crashes among new drivers by more than 70%! Studies show that 43% of new drivers are involved in automobile accidents their first year driving, and 37% have accidents in their second year. There are approximately 47,000 teen crashes in Massachusetts every year.
 

In Control ADT offers a unique half-day hands-on course developed by professionally trained racecar drivers who also train police, firefighters, EMT's and other emergency response drivers.

Drivers learn such things as: how to control skids, how to effectively use ABS brakes, dangers of tailgating, problems with backing up, how to manage emergency lane changes, and the effects if speed on driving control.

In Control offers Advanced Driver Training at state of the art facilities in Weymouth and new, satellite locations. They provide students with 4 ½ hours of instruction and one-on-one training where the students get behind the wheel and practice until they master each skill.

In an effort to reduce the number of catastrophic accidents, Massquotes encourages drivers, especially new drivers, to take In Control ADT.
