what our clients say
Martin "Nobby" Clarke, ex-Cheshire Police Chief Road Safety Officer now Head of Fleet Training for Balfour Beatty.
"The benefits of proper skid car training are vital. Recalling my experiences when training as a Police Advanced Driver and carrying out skid training, I was amazed at the benefits of such techniques. This training is undoubtedly potentially life saving."
A great big thank you to you and the team for making this happen for me, especially on the date as it was really convenient.
I had a great time and won’t hesitate to recommend to all my friends.
Once again, many thanks,Jane
Insight 2 Drive
Kathy Higgins, proprietor of Insight 2 Drive says “we all wanted to enhance our skills to make us better instructors than we already are, and of course have some fun on the way” “I can speak for all the Insight 2 Drive instructors by saying we all learnt a lot too”.
“Our trainer was great! He spoke to us on the level and he knew we were all driving instructors. I cannot see why lots of instructors don’t do this as CPD as it is a very important part of what we teach to learners.”
The instructors of Insight 2 Drive took some time to consistently react in the correct way and these are drivers who are already highly skilled, the fun bit towards the end of the day was the Timed Slalom Event where they pitched their skills against each other. Kathy says, “I am not going to say who won because that would be boasting, but it is fair to say we were all within seconds of each other.”

Course co-ordinator Chorley Advanced Motorists (Affiliated to the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM)
"All of the Observers (Tutors) at Chorley have taken the skid control course run by Malcolm Hamilton and believe that the course enhances general driving confidence as well as teaching skid control.
We run four courses per year and as an ‘add on’ to our normal course and we actively encourage all of our trainees to take the skid course as well. To learn the feel of when a car is beginning to lose grip and then to be able to control the skid is we believe a potential life-saver.
A good number of IAM groups I know also recommend this course. We strongly recommend this course and its benefits to everyone."
"The day started with a briefing and then we were out in the skid cars. The instructor gave us a demonstration and then we were in the driver's seat. We practised oversteer and understeer driving in figures of eight as well as around the cones. At the end we did a timed course that was a real challenge - slaloms, chicanes, a mini-roundabout and a straight section. Overall it was fantastic. The instructor was really enthusiastic and kept encouraging us to really go for it."
Tom & Katrina Hall
Just a quick note. After a slight wobble the night before, Marcus & Sophie managed to find you quite easily. They both enjoyed the experience and will recommend you to all their friends. Sophie is my second grand child to take the course, her cousin Matthew came to Liverpool earlier, - only 6 more to go!!!
Your courses are well planned and all teenagers should be encouraged to participate either with or soon after taking their driving test. It is something they will always remember and I am sure a fright under contolled conditions is much better that a pile up on the roads. Thank you again.
