Skid Control Course

Product Code : IRESKIDLDC

This Golden Moments gift will teach you how to control a car in slippery wet conditions and how to use ABS in an emergency.

The Experience

During this great Golden Moments package, you will discover skid control skills and techniques. These skills will help you to handle difficult or unexpected slippery conditions in normal road driving.

First there's a briefing from your instructor explaining exactly what happens when a car skids, and tips are given on how to avoid a dangerous skid situation on the road. Your instructor will also explain how electronic driver aids like ABS and ESP found in most of todays cars work and what it can do for you! You are then split into groups and introduced to your track instructor.

Session 1 - Skid Pad Demonstration

During this session your instructor will help you master the basics of car control including over and under steer control. Most modern road cars will under steer in the majority of situations and if you know a few basics you can soon get the hang of controlling it. With practice you will find everything much easier and more natural.

Your instructor will encourage you to let the car slide more and even spin around! This will give you the confidence and techniques needed to bring the car back in control from some seemingly impossible situations!

Session 2 - Anti-Lock Braking System

On this session you will learn how to master the use of ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) in an emergency. We set up an avoidance exercise to demonstrate just what this system is capable of - if you know how to get the most out of it!
