new Driver Study Guide aimed at increasing training effectiveness.
The 2009 Driver Study Guide, available for purchase only

proven foundation of Smith System’s training methodology. Each

motion procedures and includes quizzes and driver evaluation forms

training easier for instructors and more effective for students,”
said Jim Smith, Senior Vice President of Training for Smith System. “It
will support our entire process of classroom instruction, demonstration
drives, coaching drives and feedback drives.”

with updated graphics and more video content than ever before to create
a better learning experience and reinforce the driver training concepts
addressed in the on-road driver training program. Like all of Smith System’s
training, the online program is also available in separate versions designed
for small to mid-sized vehicles and truck and large vehicles.
