Testimonials from some of
Glen Edmunds Performance Driving School participants:
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your driver training that included target fixation. Two months ago, as I was traveling along Limuru road, the car driving ahead of me suddenly stopped without warning. My passenger, the Admin Attache for the (Finnish) embassy, was sure we were to have an accident. This did not happen, as I did exactly as we were taught. I looked to the side and steered the vehicle where I wanted to go and that was it. She could not believe that we avoided the accident and wanted to know how I did it, particularly as I never showed any nervousness. I told her about your training. Although it was a nasty experience, I viewed the situation positively, since it proved a lot to me. Once again thank you very much. James Njeru Kabuki Ambassador´s Driver, Embassy of Finland
My wife Dr L M Thorpe MBBS MRCGP was trained in Nairobi Kenya by the Glen Edmunds Performance Driving School. Glen Edmunds himself was the chief driving instructor and trainer and he focussed the programme to meet her needs. Driving in East Africa can be dangerous and combating the dangers focuses on a structured and progressive programme which included car control, driving dynamics, driving on loose and sealed surfaces, the security dimension and anti car-jacking. The course contributed to confidence behind the driver's wheel and increased awareness whilst improving vehicle handling. I viewed my wife's attendance and success on the course with Glen Edmunds as an investment in driver safety and security, for her and our children. Conrad Thorpe O.B.E. (Lt Col RM Retd) Director, Salama Fikira Ltd, Strategic Risk Management East Africa
The Defensive Driving day really was an excellent insight into the sorts of dangers one may face when out on the road, and a great introduction to the critical skills of awareness and avoidance tactics that one should deploy when driving. Glen was able to balance the day nicely by interspersing the serious subject matter with good humour and fun. The fact that your business is increasing exponentially is of course a sad reflection of the dangers we face on the road, but also a great credit to the way in which you deliver your subject matter. It really was a good day, which was enjoyed by all that attended, and I will be recommending it to friends and colleagues alike. Brendan. J. Cummings, Service Delivery Manager, British Airways
