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.
