johns Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 We have the opportunity to perform driver training using a proper skid car (ie on a height adjustable cradle) in Aberdeen during July at greatly reduced prices. The driver training involves learning how to handle all sorts of skids using the specially adapted skid car, which sits in a special cradle. This technology can be used to simulate understeer, oversteer, driving on black ice etc. at low and controllable speeds. Things like cadence/limit braking can also be taught. We have the chance to perform this training on only two dates during July: Saturday 12th July and Tuesday 22nd July The cost will be about £70 per person (possible subsidy), and you should get at least 40 minutes behind the wheel, plus additional time spent with the instructor driving to demonstrate the techniques. The training itself will take place at the Aberdeen and Exhibition Conference Centre (AECC), and would last the whole day with a break for lunch. It may be possible to attend only a part of the day (ie do all your driving at once, rather than over a couple of sessions). As you can imagine, places are very limited (8 - 10 per event) and be very high in demand, and as such, will be allocated on a first come first served basis. If you are interested, can you please send an e-mail to John Stewart on john@sidc.co.uk, listing your preferred date (or either), by midday on Monday 23rd June at the latest (when we need to confirm the dates). If we have enough interest to confirm the bookings (which I'm sure we will have), then places will be allocated in the order of e-mails received. John
