Defensive Driving Combined With Skid Control Sessions

Full Day 9am to 4PM

This is our most popular on track course as it provides a wide base of tuition both in vehicle control skills and on-road defensive driving skills. 

This Course Makes a Great Team Training Day!

This course is ideal as a group training session for 6 to 12 participants. 

This training can be supplied for group sizes from 1 to 12 employees. For groups sizes of 6 or more the day will be "exclusive" with no other DriverSkills clients there on the day. For the on road element you must provide a suitable, roadworthy and fully insured vehicle and all drivers must hold a valid current license for the vehicle they will be driving on road. If your company uses a certain type of vehicle, for example a van or off road 4x4, then specific tuition for this type of vehicle can be incorporated into the course if required.

Skid Pan Training

The skid pan course is set out to replicate swerving and avoidance situations that could potentially instigate a skid when out on the road. Drivers will learn how to control a vehicle in a skid. This involves controlling both front end and rear end skids.

Skid Avoidance

Participants are also taught a technique of driving in slippery conditions which reduces the chances of a skid. And drivers will learn how to master the use of ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) in an emergency. We set up a couple of avoidance exercises to demonstrate just what these systems are capable of.

On Road Defensive Driver Training Sessions

This advanced driving session is provided by our DSA Approved Fleet Driver Training Instructors is designed for company car or van drivers. It teaches on road defensive driving skills which will improve your employee's awareness and observation skills and so reduce their driver risk level.

Driver Assessmet Forms

A written assessment of the drivers performance is produced, if necessary highlighting areas where more training is required. Copies of the report are forwarded to the participants' line manager.
