Half–Day Advanced Driving and Skid Control Experience

Allocated Time: 4–Hours 1:1
Content: On–Road Performance Car Driver Training & 1–Hour Skid Control

Introduction

The Half–Day Performance Car Advanced Driving and Skid Control Experience is a 4–hour one–to–one on–road driver training programme offering training in advanced driving methods. It also incorporates a skid control experience at a skid pan, or with a skid car.

The skid pan session is the only activity you will do with Ride Drive for which a vehicle is provided. Depending upon location this can be either a wet skid pan or a skid car on a frame. Format of the Programme You start your day in your car meeting with your Ride Drive advanced driving specialist at the agreed location. There will be a brief discussion to confirm the aims and objectives of the day. As you set off onto the road, and make your way to the intended skid pan venue, you will begin to develop the application of an advanced system of car control that will form the foundation of your new driving style. To make sure you get the most from your course you will be guided over a route on public roads that will have been specially chosen to provide you with the best development opportunities. For the on–road advanced driving activities we tend to stay away from major trunk roads and motorways, unless otherwise requested, using the B–roads and back lanes instead.
		The Half–Day Performance Car Advanced Driving and Skid Control (skid pan) Experience is available in many regions of the UK, including Chard, Colchester, Ipswich, Harlow, Chelmsford, Basildon, Romford and Stevenage. Click on the map above for full list of available start points.

The Skid Control Session

At the skid pan you begin with a short safety briefing and familiarising yourself with the facility. Then begins an hour–long programme of driving activities, building from some simple manoeuvres to more technical manoeuvres during which you will learn to maintain control of the car.

The purpose of the exercises will be to help you to develop an understanding of how it isn’t a slippery surface that causes you to skid, but the manner in which you drive on that surface. It also demonstrates just how much room you need to correct a skidding situation. Room you don’t have on the public road.

We talk about the causes of skidding and about the adverse effects of inappropriate driving will have upon the behaviour of the car. Everything we practice at the skidpan has a direct relationship with how you make safe progress on the public road.

Following the completion of the skidpan session you will rejoin the public road, and again over a specifically chosen route, you may your way back to the start point. It will be during the closing stages of the day when you will notice home much smoother you drive your car and how much more in control of it you feel.

Who Should Complete This Option

The Half–Day Advanced Driving and Skid Car Experience is an option that is best suited to the performance car driver, or sports car driver, who wants to begin to understand how fragile the ability to control a car can be. It is for those who want to demonstrate for themselves how to handle a car more safely whilst enjoying some of the challenges the public road environment can bring.

Whilst the input during this driver training option is focussed upon producing the maximum effect the outcome will always be limited by the amount of driver training time allocated. There are also limitations concerning geographical availability.
