Why Drive Focus
Every action a driver takes starts with being aware of their
surroundings. A driver needs to notice routine roadway information like traffic
lights as well as hazardous situations like a pedestrian stepping out. But no
driver can pay attention to everything all at once. Drive Focus teaches you
what to notice and when it is important. If you develop efficient search
skills, you will improve your reactions as a driver.

Why Driving Instructors recommend Drive Focus
For newly licensed drivers, search errors, looking at the wrong thing at the wrong time is a leading cause of crashes. Teaching search skills when a student is driving is really difficult. There is a lot to attend to on the road: cars entering your path, arrows on the pavement, traffic lights, brake lights, turn signals, caution signs, regulatory signs, pedestrians and so much more. No instructor can ask you to name all of these things while you are driving, it’s impossible!
Drive Focus lets you practice searching the roadway without having to maneuver the vehicle or make decisions at intersections.
Instructors love Drive Focus because it’s the best way to develop efficient search skills for the road. If you give your instructor permission, they can view your performance with User Analytics for Drive Focus, and help you improve.

Select a Tour
There are a lot of Tours to select from within Australia, Canada, and the United States. And we keep adding more.
Each Tour has 6-7 Drives. Download a Drive and click on the 11 critical items in order of priority. Each Drive in a Tour gets progressively more challenging. When you get a score of 500 or higher the next Drive will open.
Play the Drives at different speeds. 100% is the speed that the Drive was taken when filmed. But you can also reduce the speed to 80% or 60%.
In the settings you can add the critical item marking to know when the next item is about to appear.
Your score will be reduced if you use the reduce speed and the critical item marking. But it can help to practice with these features.
Review the score
Whether you get a score below or above 500, review the score details to see what critical items you missed. The score details description will tell you the exact item you missed. You will be able to click a link to play back a 3 second clip where the item occurred.
A score of 650-799 or more is a GOOD score. A score of 800 or higher is AMAZING!
We highly recommend shooting for AMAZING. We know you have it in you!!
