BAAMS® Driver ProfileOverviewMurcotts driver training is based on the BAAMS® Driver Profile. It challenges all of the five human elements that underpin a driver safety culture - behaviour, attitude, awareness, motivation and skill. Driver training involves learning and applying practical skills, knowledge and strategies around risk detection and hazard reduction. At the same time drivers need to increase their awareness about their behaviour, attitudes, thinking and perception. There must be a balance between the application of vehicle control skills and the psychological factors in driving safely. Teaching vehicle handling skills without addressing the associated
attitudes and self-awareness may lead to over confidence or arrogance,
the psychological characteristics that are known to contribute to
collisions. Drivers who already suffer from anti-social behaviour may
become more aggressive towards others as a result of narrow skills only
training.
