Smith System® Driver
Improvement Institute was the professional driver training company.
Established in 1952 by Harold Smith, it operates on the principle that most
collisions are preventable if the right driving habits are learned, practiced
and applied consistently. Since then, millions of drivers throughout the
world including most of oil and gas company in Malaysia have used and the
benefited from this system.
It operates on 5
key principles:
1. Aim High In
Steering
Look at least 15
seconds into your future, not just at the vehicle in front of you.
2. Get the Big
Picture
Look for hazards.
(Other Motorists, Pedestrians, Vehicle doors opening, etc.)
3. Keep Your Eyes
Moving
Don’t stare.
Use your peripheral vision. Stop the fixed habit stare.
4. Leave Yourself
an Out
Monitor the space
cushion around you.
5. Make Sure They
See You
Use your
signals. (Directionals, 4-way Flashers, Head Lights, Brake Lights, Horn,
Hand Signals.) Make eye contact.
