This
drill trains students how to brake effectively under
slippery conditions with a premium on car control and
maintaining the ability to steer under heavy braking.
Speed of Drill: 25 to 30 MPH |

Simulating
a highway or multi-lane moderate-speed collision avoidance
situation, this drill trains students how to effectively
use steering (instead of brakes) to avoid an accident.
The lesson here is that maintaining chassis balance through
smooth but deliberate driver inputs is even more critical
at higher speeds.
Speed of Drill: 30 to 35 MPH |

The Spin Avoidance Car is specially modified with a platform
and outrigger system which enables the instructor, who
rides along during the drill, to lessen the car’s
weight at its road wheels. This creates a smaller contact
patch at each tire thus simulating limited traction like
that encountered in rain, snow or ice conditions. The students
drive this specially modified car through a closed loop
course with right and left hand turns experiencing both
under and oversteer situations.
Speed of Drill: 15 to 20 MPH |
