SMITH TRAINING
Today Those of us that are pre hired to CFI spent a day together in a 12 passenger van learning and practicing the Smith system of defensive driving. It really is just a lot of common sense that we should be using everyday anyway. We all develop bad habits and my main bad habit is pulling close to intersections that have a stop sign. By leaving a cushion at stops as well as while your driving you always have an out or safety barrier. Learning to recognize hazards while driving is also good common sense. Anyway, this was a laid back, informative day. I think most of us actually enjoyed the day.
One day left. Tomorrow I will take a road trip for final scoring to be used by the school to determine if I earn the certificate that is required by CFI and many other over the road carriers. I have allready passed the tests required by the state for my CDL, but CFI requires a higher standard and that is what this certificate signifies.
