The SKIDCAR SYSTEM Winter Driving Course provides a training event unlike any other. Students are immersed in the authentic experience of adverse driving conditions which alert them to their personal stress reactions. Although the design of the SKIDCAR keeps them safe, students are practicing in a real vehicle and are therefore exposed to the true physical and emotional responses that are unattainable through simulation alone. By allowing the student to experience adverse driving conditions first hand, they are given the opportunity to practice a system of proper thought processes and motor skills through the haze of negative reactions which occur in authentic driving emergencies. No other program so successfully combines the safety of your students with the realism needed to fully understand the important aspects of a proactive Road Safety approach.

This program is delivered at your facility or training area (minimum space 174 x 400 feet required) by a Certified SKIDCAR Instructor. Driving concepts covered include Use of Thought Process and Vision, Over-Use and Misuse of the Steering Wheel, Proper Use of the Braking System, “Give us 2 Seconds”, and “JUST STOP”. Behind-the-wheel exercises are utilized for practical experience.

The course outline can be adapted to accommodate between eight (8) and twenty-four (24) students each day.

This is an abbreviated course intended for experienced/advanced drivers including manufacturer proving grounds test drivers, First Responders (Law Enforcement, EMS, and Fire), and Municipal Fleet drivers. Elements include a short classroom orientation and extensive behind-the-wheel practice in order to experience handling for both analog and digital driving techniques.

Skill topics will cover the following:

Electronic Stability Control is a safety feature installed in all new police cars and SUVs as of the 2012 model year. This technology is designed to prevent rollovers and loss of traction by keeping your vehicle in contact with the ground during dangerous situations.

The ESC Workshop by SKIDCAR SYSTEM INC is an exclusive training program updating officers on the understanding of the Electronic Stability Control systems installed in all modern police vehicles. Due to the technology, changes in driving habits could be critical to avoiding unexpected, or even lethal, outcomes. Through the workshop, ESC systems are exposed, explained, and understood through a proprietary classroom course presentation and hands-on driver training with the SKIDCAR SYSTEM.
