🚦 Forget everything you learned in high school driver’s ed! Today, we’re diving into a smarter way to drive—by thinking like a pilot. From scanning your surroundings to making smooth, intentional movements, aviation training has a lot to teach us about safer, less stressful driving.
✈️ What if we taught driving the way we teach flying? Pilots don’t just memorize rules—they’re trained to anticipate, plan, and react. In this episode, we’ll explore:
✔️ Why 10 and 2 is outdated—and what grip actually improves control.
✔️ How to scan the road like a pilot scans their instruments (hint: mirrors matter).
✔️ Throttle, rudders, and ailerons? What pilots use to fly, you already use to drive.
✔️ Why smooth, steady driving wins over jerky corrections.
🚗 Think like an air traffic controller! Anticipate traffic flow, predict slowdowns, and make smarter driving choices before problems happen.
