Skid Pan Training On A Clean Water Skid Pan!

On this course you will be driving a normal modern unmodified family car which is fitted with special low grip tyres on a clean water skid pan area. This technique which is unique to DriverSkills has been proved to be the most realistic and effective method of learning skid control skills.

Your instructor will be a championship winning race or rally driver with lots of experience in training skid control skills.

The UK's Most Famous Skid Pan Course!

The BBC recently featured this course in a road safety program Skid Pan Course Preview

Safer Driving In Extreme Winter Conditions

Learn REAL skills to help you to handle difficult or unexpected slippery conditions in normal road driving!

Anti Lock Brakes Utilisation

Also included are sessions driving on our simulated motorway area, here you will learn how to control the use of ABS (Anti Lock Brakes) for emergency swerve avoidance.

Session 1 - Skid Control Demonstration

Your instructor will demonstrate the driving techniques needed for skid control and recovery before you are put in the hot seat!

Session 2 - Skid Pan Skills

Your instructor will help you master the basics of car control including under steer and over steer control. Most modern road cars will under steer in the majority of situations and if you know a few basics you can soon get the hang of controlling it. Over steer takes more skill to master but your instructor will show you some tips on how to get the hang of it!

Session 3 - Anti Lock Braking Demonstration

A demonstration from your instructor showing how to maximise the benifits of a car fitted with Anti Lock Brakes

Session 4 - Anti Lock Braking Skills

On this session you will learn how to master the use of ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) in an emergency. We set up an avoidance exercise on our simulated motorway to demonstrate just what this system is capable of - if you know how to get the most out of it!

Session 5 - Skid Pan Skills

Back on the skid pan again. On this session you will find everything much easier and more natural. Your instructor will encourage you to let the car slide more and even spin around! This will give you the confidence and techniques needed to bring the car back in control from some seemingly impossible situations!

Course Certificate

At the end of the course your instructor will give you a signed certificate.
