This Specialist Skid Course is available to drivers of any age and level of experience. The course teaches you how to avoid collisions and skids and how to handle your vehicle in the event of a skid. You will experience all types of skids in various mock road conditions.

A fun but very informative course which is well worth trying, whether you are a newly qualified driver or an experienced one, there is plenty to learn from this exciting course.
How does the Skid Car Work ???
The skid car works by altering the degree of friction between the vehicle's wheels and the road surface.
An hydraulic lifting system regulates the 4 pivot wheels which are mounted on the skid car frame. In this way your instructor can simulate the skidding behaviour of both rear wheel and front wheel drive vehicles.		 Skid-Car
