What
is VideoDrive?
The system consists of two small digital
colour day and night vision cameras, the first is mounted
inside the front windscreen just behind the rear view mirror
and provides a panoramic view of the road ahead. The second
is mounted on the ceiling of the car just behind the driver
and passenger seats and provides an internal view of what
the driver is doing at the wheel, i.e. mirror checks, use
of controls etc. It also provides a view of the road ahead
and can be moved in order to highlight difficult junctions,
views to the rear, the sides and more.
The system also includes a VHS video recorder, a remote microphone
for sound and a 5 inch colour monitor for instant playback.
Why do we use VideoDrive?
Quite simply, the 5 inch colour monitor
allows your driving instructor to playback situations that
he/she wishes to highlight to you, the pupil. By being able
to actually see the situation combined with the verbal explanation
you will retain more information, thereby enabling you to
move on to new subjects sooner which in turn takes you to
test standard quicker.

The Driving Standards Agency have
said that statistics show, by watching a pre-recorded training
tape you will take in up to 40% of the information but when
watching yourself on tape, you will take in between 70 –
75% of the information. The VideoDrive System is endorsed
by the Driving Instructors Association. |
