How many of your employees will CRASH this winter? Are they prepared to face the unique challenges and dangers presented with driving in winter conditions?
Driving in winter can be especially hazardous, particularly when drivers do not adjust their approach to unpredictable changing winter conditions with an attitude of due care. Less than good vehicle handling skills and/or overconfidence can set you up for definite trouble and land you in a ditch!
Our Winter Driving and Skid Recovery Practical course is a hands-on session that takes the theory of vehicle dynamics and skid recovery and puts it into action on a closed training area.
Course participants will drive their vehicles into increasingly challenging skid situations and be coached in advanced skid recovery techniques.
