Enjoy learning new skills that will help ensure your future safety
Even the most experienced drivers can encounter a situation where they lose control of their car, for example, black ice or fuel spills. For this reason we have developed our unique Skid Control Course.
"In 2005 over 64,000 accidents resulting in personal injury involved a skid."
Would you know what to do?
Our experience tells us that most drivers will freeze or react incorrectly in any loss of control scenario. The reason for this is that drivers are under extreme pressure in an alien situation. Our Skid Control Course can in a matter of hours give drivers experience of every possible skid scenario thereby creating instinctive responses and significantly reducing risks.
Using our unique Swedish SkidCar system our Instructors can create and alter any loss of control scenario to constantly challenge and educate the driver at a pace to suit his/her abilities. The object of the training is to instil into drivers through practice the ability to recognize the situation they are in, and react instantly and instinctively to correct the situation.
The Skid Control Course is a 2 hour course comprising.
- Classroom theory briefing
- Instructor skid demonstration
- Hands-on skid practice
- Instructor braking technique demonstration of ABS and non-ABS
- Hands-on braking technique practice.
- Timed Slalom Event - the fun part - this is a chance to enjoy putting newly learnt skills into practice against the stop watch. The object of the slalom is to encourage drivers into a loss of control scenario and then to practice their skills and increase confidence in a safe and controlled environment
- The serious objective of the Timed Slalom is to allow Drivers to learn through experience where the limit of adhesion is, therefore giving them the ability to drive within those limits, whilst also practicing the skills required if they stray outside the limits.
Each pupil successfully completing the course will be awarded a Certificate as a memento of the experience and a discounted opportunity to join one of our Race Circuit sessions.
We have also negotiated a 10% Discount with selected insurers for anybody that successfully completes the course.
