| Disciplined
Attention (def): using visual
techniques to achieve mastery over
attention while performing complex
and challenging activities; applying
the techniques to achieve safe and
smooth performance. |

| I have
reviewed your work and consider it
to be a bright, new avenue of explaining
that driving requires the full-time
attention, planning and cool attitude
of the driver AND provides some methods
to achieve/maintain both. I have
annotated some other thoughts and
suggestions onto the draft…I
look forward to reading the finished
work and will use it as a law enforcement
driver training tool. Thank you for
your efforts to make driving safer
and for the opportunity to comment. |

| "I
have always been taught that we rely
on our eyes for over 90% of the information
we need to control a vehicle. Disciplined
Attention explains why vision
is the foundation of safe driving.
The book also gives exercises that
one can use to improve their visual
input. Thank you for allowing me
the opportunity to preview this life
saving material." |
