A person’s first encounter with a skid could be their last. There are few things more frightening than losing control of your vehicle in bad weather conditions.
Roadwise Driver Training has developed a comprehensive Skid Training course which provides a safe, but unforgettable, opportunity for drivers to:
- experience the sensation of skidding
- learn how to regain control of the car
and most important of all:
- avoid losing control in the first place
Roadwise Driver Training is the only establishment in the North-East of Scotland to use Skidmaster. This vehicle looks just like a conventional car, but hidden behind it’s conventional appearance is a sophisticated computer controlled traction system. The Skidmaster is environmentally friendly and requires no special skid pan covered in oil or water to induce skids, nor does it have the disadvantages of some trolley mounted skid cars. It offers a very real experience - described by police driving instructors as "the nearest thing to the real thing you can get".
The training session covers the three main types of skid and how to identify, control and prevent them; and also equips drivers with valuable safety advice for winter driving.
