DriveFit/FleetFit NZ is the end
product of over 10 years of research in improving the quality of
driver training and is now in operation in many other countries
of the world with Advanced Roadskills developing the product for
the New Zealand market. Research over this period of time has found
out a new way to help new drivers improve their driving abilities
and increase their chances of passing the driving test first time. The
same tool can help experienced drivers add new performance levels
to their existing driving skills and give a monitoring system to
Fleet operators.
We recognise that there is no substitute
for knowledge and behind-the-wheel experience, but research has
shown that by training mental skills it is possible to significantly
improve the following areas: judging distance and speed, concentration,
avoiding distractions and reacting more quickly to hazards. Train
Your Brain..... for the riskiest task you will perform today. Driving
can be the riskiest task that New Zealand drivers face every day
with drivers representing over 50% of the annual road toll every
year since 1999. Young driver deaths for the 15-19 year old age
group has climbed to 85 in 2005. (LTNZ figures) Research has shown
that by training cognitive skills it is possible for individuals
to significantly improve driving related abilities such as:
- Reaction Time
- Judgement (time, speed, distance)
- Short term memory
- Divided Attention

There are five steps
to the Programme now available on the internet
On receipt of payment a personalized code will be issued
to log onto our web site, the process is very simple and you
will be guided through the whole programme.
Step 1. Assessment of where your cognitive (mental) skills stand
to-day?
The assessment takes about 35 minutes to complete and covers key cognitive
abilities such as attention, memory, perception and hand-eye coordination. These
measures of the user’s cognitive abilities will be extremely useful to
the user and allow that person’s instructor to personalise the in- vehicle
training.
Step 2. Report the assessment to you and head office
(Fleet requirements).
Once the assessment is completed, the user receives results back from
an independent database via the internet and the results will be displayed on
the screen. The assessment results can be reviewed and printed at any time by
an Advanced Roadskills coordinator.
Step 3. Report the assessment results to the Instructor
If the user is taking a Young Driver NZ Programme the
results will automatically be sent to Advanced Roadskills Ltd.
The Instructor will take the student through the results and identify
areas that require development. If not taking a Young Driver Programme
NZ, the user can always refer the assessment report to his/her
instructor to identify those skills that need improvement.
Step 4. Personalised YDP in-vehicle training
Equipped with the student’s results, the Advanced
Roadskills Instructor will include a range of in-vehicle exercises
to personalise the driver training.
These behind-the-wheel exercises will reinforce the DriveFit NZ tasks, and allow
the student to experience the benefits of cognitive training in the driving world
and increases the chance of passing the driving test by producing a high standard
of driving skills.
Step 5. Personalised DriveFit/FleetFit NZ training
This Programme includes 18 unique training tasks comprising a total
of 36 training sessions that will improve the user’s cognitive abilities.
Each training session (containing 3 training tasks) will take about twenty minutes.
These should be started right away and completed over a period of about 12 weeks
(and in combination with in-vehicle training if the user is an YDP NZ student).
DriveFit NZ is real, solid cognitive science.
