Sample slides from the Drivers Edge: Strategies and Tactics Disc

The following sample slides are from the first lesson. They are not as clear

as what is on the actual CD disc. Photo resolution (clarity) had to be reduced on these slides so they could be e-mailed to you without taking a long

time to download.

The full set has over 1000 slides and 30 short videos covering all aspects of driving totaling about 12 hours

of instruction excluding quizzes and 2 major tests.
