The Drive Safer Control Experience, Featuring the SKIDCAR®
Andrew Groelinger, Drive Safer | Jason Friedman, CEO Drive Safer
Thursday, October 23, 2014 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 pm
Holiday Inn Boxborough
You’ve been driving for several years, or even several decades, but even Tiger Wood’s needs a coach! Join the
Drive Safer certified driving instructors in a Car Control Experience that will transform the way you drive. This
four-hour course will dive into vehicle dynamics and car control in both theory and then in practice. A quick 15
minute classroom experience, and then you are going to get behind the wheel to experience driving like you never
did before.
Participants will use their own car for a slalom and braking exercise, and then will have the opportunity to get
behind-the-wheel of the Drive Safer SKIDCAR®. We will focus on three centers of Driving Program Priority:
•
•
•
Use of thought process and vision: Our goal is to convey to students how vision (use of sight) can
lower risk and lengthen the time available to make proper decisions in personal risk assessment and
avoidance while controlling a vehicle
Over-use and misuse of the steering wheel: During events that require immediate response, most
drivers overreact with over-use of the steering wheel. A driving program utilizing the SKIDCAR can teach
the practicality of always paying attention and the ease and confidence of learning to use the controls
less.
Proper use of the braking system: We combine the design philosophy of 21st Century Electronic
Stability Controls with practical application of standard ABS common to almost every vehicle today.
As modern fleets move into newer vehicles, these vehicles will be equipped with the best safety technology that
vthe automobile industry has offered since the seat belt: Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The widespread
implementation of ESC will forever change the way we think about controlling a vehicle in adverse weather or
emergency events, and ESC understanding is an integral part of every MDTP course. The student behind the
wheel of the SKIDCAR gets several laps through a coned course to become comfortable with the course and
operating the vehicle in a low speed slippery environment. As the course progresses, the student is exposed to
mistakes that could cause loss of control. These miscalculations cause the ESC to activate and automatically
correct the mistakes of the driver. Through this electronic correction the driver is coached to drive so the ESC
does not activate. Once confidence has been gained to drive technically correct, the ESC is turned off and the
driver is exposed to maintaining control through his or her own expertise with thinking clearly and correctly
operating the vehicle. This structured learning environment allows for the driver to learn precisely what causes
loss of control, and stimulates the personal goal of safety in all driving environments.
Cost: NETSEA Members $ 80.00
Non Members $ 100.00
Note: Participants must have a valid driver’s license and auto insurance.
Each participant will be required to sign a waiver to participate in this
program. Maximum of 15 people can register for this workshop
