Here's a new twist on skid training! This well-established driving school centre in Shropshire uses a unique skid area featuring a very special surface that makes skidding easy. There are no cradles on the skid car or fancy gadgetry that way (with your expert training) it means you learn easily all about when skids happen & how to control them from speeds as gentle as 5mph. This skid car training experience is offered for one or two people & both packages give you plenty of training in the hot seat with the instructor & for skidding duos when you're not driving you can be a passenger in the car. All sessions are offered as exclusive lessons so you will have the undivided attention of the Grade Six advanced driving instructor & there's no hanging around waiting for your turn. Of course experiencing your first skid can be scary & often most people's first skid on roads is actually down to driver error so much better to be doing it at a training ground under controlled conditions with an expert driving instructor sitting next to you to show you what to do. & don't forget the session is as much about fun out there on the pan as it is about learning some vital motoring skills. Thanks to that specially prepared surface you can learn to control a skid at very slow speeds to gain confidence before building up to higher speeds to really test your training at the wheel of the skid car. So no need to feel anxious & believe us by the end of the session you will feel rightly quite proud of yourself that you will leave knowing just what to do when you skid
- although we don't advise doing skids on the way home in your own car if you can help it! Although skid training is typically seen as a gifts for men experience they are equally suitable for women too as driving is not just a man's domain these days (thankfully!) & you'll be trained in everything from locked wheels to tyre blows out on these experiences at this family run centre in Oswestry.

Experience front & rear wheel drive action on this Skid Pan Day in Suffolk! This low-grip skid pan at the driving facility near Bury St Edmunds gives you the opportunity to get skidding & sliding in total safety for half a day's fun as part of a small group experience. Throughout the course of these thrilling days you will take out two different vehicles onto the pan for skids & slides
- a front wheel drive hatchback & a larger rear wheel driven saloon. The difference in the way these two cars behave is pretty impressive & each requires a certain technique to be able to control & recover as you go slewing off course. As well as skidding on the pan on the day you will also learn about emergency braking as part of the same experience because you never know when you might need to stop as quickly & safely as possible. What's good about the whole experience of being out on the skid pan for a few hours of the day is that you are in a small group which means there is plenty of banter & encouragement with your fellow skitters. As the course progresses so too will your understanding of how vehicles (and drivers) tend to naturally react & how to reverse that whole process so you are safe in a slide. Of course the main focus on this skid pan day is enjoying the thrills but the skills you will learn whilst you're flinging the cars around this slippery surface in Suffolk will also put you in very good stead when driving your own car on wet snowy or icy weather days. & with training from a ex & serving military & police driving instructors you can be sure of plenty of top tips from experts who have trained hundreds of drivers to advanced level.
