How TO Drive AND Survive and Why You’ll Remember this book

The uniqueness of this textbook and e-textbook stems from the author’s many years of hands-on driver training experience, which is essential to effective driver education teaching.

David W. McGinnis provides detailed, step-by-step guidance tailored for novice drivers. The experience mimics having a personal driver education instructor, whether in a classroom or during in-vehicle training. This unique approach highlights the exceptional nature of this publication. All content is created and published by David McGinnis, an experienced driver education professional with over 52 years of expertise, including thousands of hours of
classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction.

This book, How to Drive and Survive, is the first and only one of its kind. This book also meets the Curriculum Content Standards, commonly known as the “Administrative Standards,” for:

• The Association of National Stakeholders in Traffic Safety Education (ANSTSE)
• 
  The Driving School Association of the Americas (DSAA)
• 
  The Automobile Association of America (AAA)
• 
  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

This course is aimed not only at students but also at parents. Why?
Have you ever read a book you couldn’t put down?
A story that stayed with you long after you turned the final page?
That is exactly how we designed How to Drive and Survive.
This will give you long-term memory.

We know that real learning doesn’t happen by memorizing a list for a Friday test. It happens when you are so engaged with what you’re reading that the information becomes part of you. We have removed the “schoolhouse” tests and replaced them with a memory of the story you read to “Save Your Life and Others.”

This isn’t a textbook; it’s an Engrossing Story Guide designed for simplicity. By focusing on the “story” of staying safe across all U.S. states and in many other countries, we ensure these skills become second nature. Our goal is for you to remember this information for 60 years,
not just one week.
