Driver must bring own car (10 – 15l fuel in the tank) equipped with studless tyres.
Course containing:
- Braking exercises at various driving speeds and applying different types of braking (30 min): an exercise of a rapid reaction in critical situations, giving the confidence to use brakes in different ways according to situation and surface;
- Vehicle tyres warm up and grip renewal (30 min): exercises on a slippery and changing surface which provokes the lateral slide of a car. Situations can also be modelled in artificial (water) obstacles that must be negotiated. Exercises on slippery and variable surfaces, where the car is provoked to skid, in addition to simulated situations where artificial (water) obstacles have to be negotiated;
- Safe trajectory formation and corresponding speed selection (35 min): an exercise to improve the driver’s skills at acting in unexpected and critical situations, driving downhill followed by a selection of correct trajectory on a bend, using a slippery surface, and, in this case, the difference in the driving surface.
- Vehicle “behaviour” and driving, performing various manoeuvres on a slippery surface (aquaplaning) (15 min): exercises that highlight the difference between braking and the ability to manoeuvre a car on various surfaces with various degrees of grip at different driving speeds. During the exercises, situations are modelled in which it is difficult and problematic for inexperienced drivers to respond correctly and quickly.
- Driving a vehicle when it goes into an uncontrollable lateral slide (35 min): exercises on a slippery surface, where both front and rear wheel slides are induced, and situations are modelled in which the driver has to drive around artificial (water) obstacles.
- Basic elements of economic driving (10 min): practical exercises in which the challenge is to repeat and practice recommendations mentioned in theory on the principles of economic driving.
