ABOUT SYNERGY EQ
A Human Factors and systems approach to driver training is not only about getting YOU or your young adult to the test standard so they will pass the restricted or full driving test – but to ensure they have the skills and competencies for safe driving for life. “eQ “is the emotional intelligence acquired through understanding one’s self first – then the behaviours of others in the road system in order to become a complete driver.
Driving is an ongoing lifelong learning process!
The Synergy eQ premise is that the current road education system is not serving the community. This premise is reflected in the current road toll – yet the ‘Kiwi’ way is to teach our kids ourselves rather than through a professional driver trainer. Just because drivers function and get around okay, does not make them an expert! Do you want your young adults to learn bad habits or perform at the lowest standard to pass the test, or excel to become safe drivers for life!? The investment in professional driver training is your next step in investing in your kids (or yourself) … to further their education and life skills. It makes sense to leave the emotional stress behind (to someone else)! Competency passes tests and makes for a safe and sound driver – not confidence (or over confidence).
