National Driver Training - Colorado Springs

Today is a federal holiday, not state, so we are open normal hours.

Even if the results are not catastrophic, it only serves to get you to the next red light where everyone catches up to you.

We drive the same routes frequently. Some people speed. Some go the speed limit. It still takes the same amount of time.

When you go exactly the speed limit you tend to catch more green lights, almost like it is done that way on purpose . . . .

Speeding reduces your reaction time, increases stopping distance, and multiplies the force of impact in a crash. The faster you’re going, the less chance you have to correct, avoid, or survive. Even a small increase in speed dramatically raises the risk of serious injury or death — for you, your passengers, and everyone sharing the road.

Speed doesn’t just make the stop deadlier — it makes the stop inevitable.

Slow down. Arrive alive.

A good reminder to not camp in the left lane.

Why you might unknowingly be breaking a Colorado traffic law The far left lane of major Colorado highways is a designated passing lane only to be used while actively passing other vehicles, per state law.

A look at the impact of Active Safety Systems:

How Much Safer Do Active Safety Systems Make Cars, Really? Modern cars and light trucks offer an alphabet soup of active safety helpers. Just how effective are they?

Yesterday, a guest from KOAA came in to learn about winter driving before the snow all melted.

If you would like more information, it is covered extensively in our online/app program and we have a brochure in our office that is available to anyone who wants one.

It includes safety reminders and a checklist for what you should carry in you vehicle should an emergency occur.

Snow Smarts: A Guide for Mastering the Icy Roads Meteorologist Lauren Brand takes us back to driving school to show us how to navigate those icy conditions on the roads.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We will be closed on Thursday and Friday this week (and so will the DMV/DOR/DLO).

Our plan is to be open on Wednesday and offer driving tests until we run out of applicants (historically around 2pm), but it seems like we might be hit with a good snow storm overnight tonight that will likely affect our ability to test tomorrow.

If you are wanting to test this week, today is your best option, and this morning, particularly right when we open at 8:30, is the best time to come in.

Stay safe out there!
