'Quality, affordable skid avoidance training - we can now provide short courses for ONLY £75 per person' 

Would you know what to do?

Being able to control a skid is an essential core skill required in all drivers.  Many drivers seem to ignore this very important part of driving, wrongly believing it will never happen to them!  Drivers should scan and plan and drive defensively. 

This will ensure you are driving within safe limits, reduce the risk of skidding and being involved in a serious road collision.  Seatbelts, ABS and technology all have a role to play in road safety, but your actions are by far the most important ingredient - 95% of all road collisions are driver error.

Picture the scene for a moment and imagine you are driving down an icy country lane.  Suddenly, a hare runs across the road.  You instinctively brake, causing the back-end of the car to swing out violently into the path of an oncoming car.  Question:  Could you have done anything differently?

We can help you bridge that gap!

Skid car training will provide you with the confidence and skills needed when driving in adverse and wintry weather conditions.  The skid car course is delivered courtesy of the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership who has developed the training using a specially adapted Citroen C4.  Training takes place at RAF Scampton and the 'Life Skills Academy' at North Kyme, using experienced and highly skilled instructors.  You can sign up today for skid avoidance training by contacting Drive Safe UK on 01427 617855 or you can email us at drivesafeuk@gmx.co.uk

 "Gethin Jones - The skid-car is a wonderful opportunity for drivers of all abilities to test their skills and knowledge in a controlled environment.  Knowing how to control a skid could easily be the difference between life and death - it really is that serious"

ITVs 'Police-Camera-Action' presenter, Gethin Jones who recently slid the skid-car around the airfiled at RAF Scampton.  Gethin needed all of his 'pilot skills' to safely glide the car around the course (and the grass verge)!
