What does the activity include?
The course starts with a talk explaining the format and safety of the session. The causes, types of skid and cures are all discussed; together with cadence braking and observation.
Our instructors will then take you on the skid pan in our vehicles, and follow through the briefing by demonstrating the relevant points.
Course members then take the wheel in turn and carry out exercises under the guidance of the instructor. These exercises are made progressively more difficult as the session proceeds.
The course concludes with one of the most valuable aspects of driving: how to cope with an emergency. A situation is simulated on the skid pan and you will have the opportunity to try the normal method of braking and the new techniques learnt. You will undoubtedly be a much safer driver after this course ends.
