If you were faced with a real life skid situation would you have the correct skills to react and regain control of your car? This course will teach you in a safe environment how to cope with this possible event. The skid cars used on the course are computer controlled and are mounted in a cradle that hydraulically lifts the car to reproduce loss of traction in response to the instructor's commands the car is therefore able to provide any number of potentially dangerous skid conditions but in a safe and controlled way. Your day will be split into two, half with tuition in a skid car and the other spent out on the roads with trained advanced instructors who will give you practical information to make you more aware whilst driving.This day course is suitable for both new and experienced drivers.
