Most drivers consider themselves to be competent — or better — but how would they react in an emergency? Would they be able to control their car if it started to slide on a wet or icy road?
The Alconbury Driving Centre enables drivers to test their skills in safety at the wheel of the Centre’s skid car.
The skid car is a normal road car, mounted on a hydraulic frame that enables the instructor to lift the weight of the car off the tyres and create skids and slides as if driving on ice, water or oil.
