Defensive Driving Courses
Coaching the School Bus Operator
METROGARD’s 2-hour interactive presentation is developed on the success of well-known defensive driving concepts introduced by the National Safety Council. This training module is geared specifically for school bus operations by school bus owners and operators.
The “coaching series” is intended to offer experienced bus operators an opportunity to gain additional insight to enhance their defensive driving knowledge when operating out on the road, picking up and discharging passengers.
The main thrust is to offer tips and concepts of defensive driving to remind drivers to use when encountering a potential collision.
The module also assists in introducing new techniques that will assist your operators to “fine-tune” their respective collision-prevention skills.
