The Corporate Drive – Skid Avoidance Defensive Driving Course provides advanced defensive driver training that's ideally suited for drivers in the commercial or public safety sectors Corporate fleets (cars, trucks, commuter vans) Construction fleets (concrete trucks, dump trucks) Commercial fleets (delivery vans, box/straight trucks, cabs) Municipal fleets (garbage trucks, public buses, school buses) Public safety fleets (police cars/trucks/SUVs, fire trucks, ambulances) The four-hour training combines experienced coaching with the hands-on experience behind the wheel of the SkidCar™ vehicle. With the innovative technology of the SkidCar, we can simulate hazardous driving conditions such as slippery roads and hydroplaning. By repeating the skid experience at very slow speeds, drivers learn how to react to a skid in a completely safe environment. Even better, drivers learn to recognize the signs that indicate an out of control situation and can prevent skids and accidents in the first place.
