Driving is a complex activity that involves factors associated with the driver, the vehicle, and the road and traffic environment. Traffic collision surveys tend to show that human factors are the most prevalent contributory factor in traffic accidents.

Preventing accidents from occurring is the most effective means to improve road safety. It is also the most difficult and complex task to accomplish. The causes of traffic accidents are many and complex, but studies show that 96% of all accidents involve some form of driver error. Thus, the most effective means to prevent accidents from occurring is the improvement of driver skills through training programs.

The analysis of road accidents indicates that novice drivers are over-represented in road accidents. Specific studies have shown that in many countries the objectives of driver instruction are aimed at the driver license examination rather than road safety. Often it is mistakenly assumed that the examination is an end in itself of the ultimate stage in the development of a safe driver.

The learner should realize that even the best exam results are not a guarantee of life-long safe driving. Skids R Us continues the learning process, improving driver awareness and contributing to the safety of not only the driver but their passengers and other road users.
