Queensland Driver Training - Advanced Car Control and Skid Pan Training

Advanced Car Control and Skid Pan Training Overview

How hard can it be to correct a sliding car at 40km?

For those who have never been on a diesel skid pan before, you will be surprised!!

It’s a wet, miserable day, and unaware to you, the truck travelling 10 cars in front of you is dropping diesel all over the road.

Suddenly, the car in front stops and you have to brake and swerve to avoid a collision. Your car suddenly skids sideways! “What you do next could save your life” Do you know what you would do?

This course is designed to make you a safer and more aware driver whilst receiving tips from the experts on car control and skid control techniques.

Using your own vehicle, you will be personally coached in the skills necessary to correct a skidding car.

You will learn to control understeer, oversteer and what to do if you get out of control. More importantly, you will learn how to avoid getting into these situations in the first place.
