Young Drivers of Canada teaches our exclusive, proprietary Collisionfree!™ Approach in every YD course made up of proactive driving habits that aim to train drivers to spot problems while driving and avoid them without having to react. The Collisionfree!™ Approach is made up of proactive driving techniques that help drivers spot problems and respond early to avoid them.
