Mastering Driving for a Lifetime of Safety: Beyond the Basics
I transform how you think and act behind the wheel, drawing from decades of hands-on experience in crash research, fleet training, change management, and neuroscience. I understand that deeply ingrained habits and beliefs can affect
your driving, so my approach goes far beyond teaching rules—I help you rethink your entire mindset on the road.
My one-on-one process focuses on identifying and overcoming mental and physical barriers that create hesitation or fear, using practical, research-backed methods that keep you ahead of conflict and in full control. Whether you’re
a highly anxious driver or just beginning, my training is designed to build confidence and emphasize safety, with a focus on offensive driving strategies and real-world road skills.
Unlike traditional driving schools, which focus solely on test preparation, my program equips you for a lifetime of safe driving. Drawing on my experience as a senior assessor for Transport Canada, including crash research studies
with Sue MacNeil, I bring a depth of expertise that emphasizes real-world safety and behavior change. My past applied research work contributed to the worldwide ban on cell phone use while driving.
I adhere to the strict code of conduct outlined by the B.C. government, while remaining fully committed to providing honest and thorough education that helps you drive at the lowest possible risk. This is not just about passing a
test—it’s about mastering the skills needed to stay clear of danger for life. With Cooper’s Calm Driving, passing the test will be a formality on your journey toward lifelong control, confidence, and safety on the road.
Given that 1.3 million die and up to 50 million get injured annually, of all the education invested in, why is driver education not at the top of the list?
If flying planes were treated the same way as driving cars, planes would fall out of the sky daily.
