About Vehicle Dynamics Institute
At Tony Scotti’s Vehicle Dynamics Institute (VDI), our reputation has been built on the very same principle that has made the Scotti name one of the most recognized in the security profession for more than thirty five years; we focus on doing just one thing – advanced driver training – and doing it very well.
Our goal is to provide each and every one of our students with the knowledge, skill and ability they will need to survive potentially life threatening encounters while behind the wheel, from motor vehicle accidents to deliberate attacks. In order to ensure that we meet that goal we rely on:
- Instructors with real world experience in transporting and protecting corporate executives and other high profile individuals around the globe
- Tactics and techniques that have been proven to work where they’re needed the most – in the real world Scenario-based practical exercises that closely replicate the challenges our students are most likely to face out on the street
- Advanced technology for evaluating and improving student performance

It is through Tony Scotti Associates that Mr. Scotti personally oversees the VDI Instructor Development Program, a comprehensive, ongoing process that serves to distinguish VDI’s instructors from all others.
