DVD Reviews of The Art of Intelligent Driving
DVD Review: Is not interesting
Summary: 2 Stars
This dvd was just too much. Material was a very good idea but presntation bored even me. I would not use it for my class. Laboratory like. Will lose teen interest rapidly. I bought it, have not used, don't plan to use it, and will probably just give it away. I was very dissapointed and am now out an amount of money I could have spent on interesting educational materials. Some of my "older" videos hold more interest for my class. I am glad I reviewed it before showing it. Oh Well. That's how it goes when you buy sight unseen. I would appreciate a credit from Amazon to use for another dvd.DVD Review: Not such a good product
Summary: 2 Stars
The video starts very slow. It doesn't come onto my computer screen at a faster enough speed and the segments are not detailed to fit my needs as a lecturer for the Driver's Education program I instru. DVD Review: Worst Production Ever
Summary: 1 Stars
As the video is depicted as "picking up where driver's ed leaves off" and is hosted by High Performance Driver one might expect this to not only be educational but fun. Well, one would be wrong.
First of all, the production value appears to be something I could have done with a Sony Handi-Cam. The music is like really bad Jan Hammer. And the lighting is brutally poor.
But I opted to watch anyway. Well, as long as I could. The guy doing the teaching would be a perfect guy to have around if you ran out of Ambien because I felt like going to sleep five minutes in.
I've seen many bad orientation videos and this deserves a place in the Lame Hall of Fame.
DVD Review: Invaluable.
Summary: 5 Stars
I just returned to this site to purchase a second copy of the DVD for my nephew, and was surprised to read some of the critical reviews. Not only do I recommend this DVD, but obviously, I'm purchasing a second copy. I think the last two reviewers dismissed the information too quickly without giving it a chance.
It IS possible to totally eliminate blind spots. A driving instructor friend of mine told me the technique covered in this DVD is officially called the BGE (Blind spot, Glare Elimination) settings, and is taught in many driver's education programs around the world. The self-described "Driving Instructor" in the review is working with out-dated information.
Every day this winter, my son took my old Honda to high school - and now to his summer job, and safely uses the Heel and Toe technique of covering two pedals with one foot. My driving instructor friend told me this is a time honored technique developed by Ferrari racing drivers, is very safe, and saves on clutch wear. But it's only used if you drive a stick. So most of us never have to worry about it, and it's not an issue.
The point of this DVD is to educate your child on how to most safely operate a car AFTER he/she knows the rules of the road. It's a supplement to conventional driving instructing. I'm convinced it's made my son a better driver, and soon my nephew too.
DVD Review: Very Accurate Title...
Summary: 4 Stars
The Art of Intelligent Driving is a 90-minute DVD that breaks down the principles of driving into 5-15 minute segments, including: braking, steering, turning, accelerating, proper use of mirrors, shifting, heel toe technique, driving in inclement weather, special situations, etc...
Jonathon Kinsberg is one of those rare "self actualized" individuals who presents the material in a professional manner, and who really knows what he is talking about. You get the strong impression that he sincerely wants to pass on his expertise to the general driving public.
Let's face it. The Driver's ED Programs in most American High Schools are sorely lacking, and most people don't have the time or money to attend professional drivign courses. (aka Bondurant) As a result, our highways are populated by frustrated, aggressive, and yes, dangerous drivers.
It's somewhat dated, and the production is not Hollywood style, but this DVD fills a critical void. It amazes me some of the smug comments from other reviewers..."this may be helpful for my teenage daughter, etc...". Actually this DVD should be required viewing for all American drivers.
Highly recommended.
Description of The Art of Intelligent Driving
When most of us learn to drive, we are essentially taught "the rules of the road"; the location of the pedals and nothing more. No wonder driving is so DANGEROUS! "The Art of Intelligent Driving" picks up where Driver's Ed leaves off. It dispels common myths about driving and replaces them with effective techniques and knowledge that work.Look at driving in a whole new way. You will gain an increased understanding of your actions behind the wheel and your car's responses to them. No race-driving techniques, just safe driving techniques.
New and experienced drivers alike will find this video highly informative. Parents with teenage drivers will want them to study this video often. Help make America's roads safer . . . practice "The Art of Intelligent Driving".
The Host: Jonathan Kinberg is a graduate of the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance DrivingTM. He has been engaged in automotive engineering and performance driving for more than twenty five years. He is also an experienced race driver and licensed member driver in the Sports Car Club of AmericaTM.
