In over sixteen yearsofteaching Traffic Safety in the Portland Metro area, Greg has learned one lesson above all: "We should accept and embrace the fact that educating people to drive will be a constantly evolving process. Gone are the days of '10 & 2' hand positions; now it is '4 & 8'. No more 'Hand-Over-Hand' stering, now we train drivers to use a 'Pull-Push-Slide' technique. Our vehicles speak their own languages-- SRS, ABS, ESP, Crumple Zones, Funny Logic shifting, and the list goes on and on. Training drivers to survive and prosper on today's roadscape is an evolving challenge and I want our company to be at the forefront of training drivers by the latest, safest and most effective methods possible."
Greg also feels a great responsibility to his school's clients to deliver the maximum benefit possible for their monetary investment. He says, "If we are doing our job right, all students who entrust their driving success to us will advance to become happy, collision free drivers for a lifetime to come, and will have the opportunity to accomplish their driving goals in the shortest time possible."
