Post Falls Responsible Alert Driving School Students Learn to Drive Like a Professional Pilot!

ASSUME PILOT MODE BEFORE YOU MOVE!

INITIATE PRE-DRIVE SAFETY SEQUENCE

Aircraft pilots--at least the smart ones!--
go through a standard safety checks BEFORE each flight.

Drivers should do the same!

Establish a pre-drive habit for safe and pleasant driving.

  1. As soon as seated in the driver seat, lock doors.
  2. Adjust seat.
  3. Adjust steering tilt.
  4. Adjust head restraint.
  5. Secure seat belt and check that all passengers are wearing seat restraints.
  6. Adjust rear and side mirrors.
  7. Upon ignition, check all indicator lights. They should illuminate briefly to show functionality, then turn off.
  8. If gauges do not illuminate, there may be a burnt bulb or an other electrical problem.
  9. If gauges remain illuminated, have the issue addressed by a mechanic.
