Inspired to impact driver safety he conceived the ***One Second Advantage™*** principle. Rooted in a major automotive safety research study that determined 90 percent of all traffic crashes can be avoided when a driver has one more second to react and knows what to do with it —the ***One Second Advantage ***has been, and to this day is the cornerstone philosophy of the training programs offered by Driving Dynamics. - #### Award Winning Driving Dynamics named as a Top-20 Safety Training Company![Top 20 Company 2021 ](https://www.drivingdynamics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Top%2020%20Company%202021%20.jpg?width=100&name=Top%2020%20Company%202021%20.jpg)   - #### Notable Milestones **2021, —**Recognized as a Top-20 Safety Training Company by Training Industry Inc five years in a row. 2017-2021 **2020—**President and CEO Art Liggio inducted to the Automotive Fleet Hall of Fame **2018 —**Launch the DriverAdvantage™ umbrella brand for light-to-medium duty instructor-led training programs **2017**—30th Anniversary.

There was a 4 car pile-up in front of me yesterday but I avoided it. ABS works as does look further ahead than just the car in front. I saw that the 1st car was going to rear-end the car in front of it and I stopped with plenty of room. It's great that the training makes us engage the ABS many times because it was a non-surprise when I actually needed to use it. " ![icon_testimonial4](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/5816394/CLEAN-images/gfx/lazy-placeholder-100x100.jpg) Tara P. AkzoNobel, Account Manager ** > "I was driving on I-4 in downtown Orlando heading to Daytona to work. It was raining hard and I was keeping a safe speed when I noticed a tractor-trailer coming up fast behind me. I changed lanes into the middle lane and started to slide to the right due to the concrete roadway. I let off the pedal and looked and steered in the direction of the roadway I wanted to follow. The truck flew by me at a high rate of speed and I was able to control the car. Thank you for sending me to Driving Dynamics class so I knew what to do in that situation."  ![icon_man3@300x-8](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/5816394/CLEAN-images/gfx/lazy-placeholder-100x100.jpg) Marc D. Florida Power & Light, Field Operations ** > "I attended the course offered here in Indianapolis. I want to offer that your team was absolutely superb. I am impressed. They worked together to make the day impactful and fun. I have nearly 20 years here at Elanco and have had over those years many hours in internal and external training, and the hours I had with your team set a high mark for an engaged and energetic experience. I want to especially mention Kathy, who had the classroom portion of the day. She did a great job of making this valuable and impactful with her sharing of stories and humor." ![icon_testimonial3](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/5816394/CLEAN-images/gfx/lazy-placeholder-100x100.jpg) Doug R.
