John Loughry is a commercial pilot and has been flying for over 25 years. He is a graduate of Kent State University and the Keller Graduate School of Management. In his spare time he speaks about aviation history, weather fundamentals, and the space race that led America to landing on the moon.
During college, John worked as an Emergency Medical Technician for a rescue squad and experienced first-hand how reckless and careless driving killed innocent victims and permanently changed the lives of their families. As a pilot, he sensed that if these drivers had just a few of the decision and crisis management skills that pilots use everyday, many of these accidents could have been avoided.
With three up and coming teenage drivers of his own, he was unable to find any information that would directly educate his children on how to drive with the accuracy, awareness and focus of a pilot. After repeatedly hearing news reports about younger drivers dying by encountering the same situations, he decided to repackage his pilot knowledge for drivers and wrote the material himself.

"Piloting and driving skills are similar. By including a focus on distractions and inattention, John Loughry has addressed a key area that can make a significant difference in the highway accident rate."
"As a police officer, I frequently respond to teenage driving accidents. I agree with John Loughry's assessment of teenage driving risks and found his pilot safety skill discussions very enlightening and directly applicable to improving younger driver decisions in avoiding common deadly mistakes."
"An absolute "must-have" for all households with a teenager ready to get behind the wheel - and fact enthusiastically recommended even to veteran drivers, as a refresher course in how to avoid road dangers before a crisis hits its boiling point and stay cool even if the crisis erupts anyway."
