        Responsible for overseeing the driver-training program at Bridgewater Driving School, Tom Gallagher calls upon his years as a Professional Driver, Driving Instructor, and a "Train the Trainer" specialist.  Tom's roots are in driver training and he has held the position of Safety Director for one of the largest privately owned students transportation outfits in Central New Jersey, where he developed specialized training programs for their drivers.  From there, Tom accepted a position as 'North East Regional Safety Director' for the largest privately owned armored car carriers in the United States where he authored the company's driver training program, which is used today by it's 3,000 drivers.

       The years of working with drivers and investigating  the causes of collisions and violations and working to reduce those numbers have proven invaluable.  Tom's experience in the field of driver training has shown, and statistic bear out, that an individuals driving behavior equals one risk factor for being involved in a collision or receiving a violation.  Exhibit a negative driving behavior and your risk factor increases.  Bridgewater Driving School works to develop within each of its students a sense of the proper driving behavior that will, in turn, enable them to develop safe driving habits.  Good driving habits equate to a lower risk factor.
