Driving and control in the wet
"Wet skid pad" driving adds adverse driving conditions, testing both driver control and common sense.

Our professional instructors are careful to work with each participant at their own individual level.
In our skid control exercise, they show students how to recognize when their car may be out of control,
or going into a skid, and what to do to correct for it.
Drivers in an accident avoidance situation sometimes overreact and, as a result, give their car the wrong input. Going through these maneuvers,
as well as the emotions behind the wheel, in a safe environment with a professional instructor, is invaluable.
"Failing Our Children" a special report from Autoweek on teen driving risks and driver education. See the article
"Beginning Teenage Drivers" from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the NHTSA. Teen drivers have the highest crash risk of any age group. Per mile traveled, they have the highest involvement rates in crashes . . . See the article |
Our hands-on real-life training gives drivers a better understanding of vehicle dynamics which will help them
react in panic situations. Allowing students to experience a
car at its limits, at slow speeds, and in a controlled
environment, gives them this knowledge.
Not only do they become more familiar with where the limits
are, they are also given better information on what to do
if they approach those limits on the public roads when facing
a possible accident. The Defensive Driving Academy staff
also works hard to create a fun atmosphere that will put even
the most timid student at ease.
We are a mobile operation, call to see if we can bring this course to your area.
