Baby, Learn to Drive Your Car

D.T.’s Defensive Driving Academy

Three-mile run twice a week. Yoga in between. Never drink again.

You pledge to that little strung-out voice in your head every year that things will be different.

Then you get in your car.

Teaching you to go to your happy place — and keep two hands on the wheel at the same time — is D.T.’s Defensive Driving Academy, which promises you’ll be “collision free for life.” Their approach includes focusing on mind/eye coordination and showing drivers how to prepare before getting in the driver’s seat (deep breaths: good, calling your ex: bad). They’ll even give you a little car maintenance 101.

So the next time that scooter swerves in front of you across three lanes to turn left on a red light, you’ll be cool, collected, and obscene hand gesture free.

And positively resolution worthy.
