Skid Pan/Skid School Training

[will950]

Hi,

I have been interested in doing skid pan training since I passed my test 6 years ago and still haven't done it yet.

Can anyone recommend venues/courses to do? I've seen a couple of courses where you do skid pan training plus advanced driving skills or similar- are these recommended as well? I'm in Hertfordshire but willing to travel for the right course!

I've not done any additional driving courses and am interested in them to improve my driving and learning more car control etc.

Thanks!

Will

I have a 2008 Mini Cooper, has traction control fitted.

Hoping to learn skid control and reacting correctly in a skid to increase chances of "catching" it. I drive a lot of country roads for my commute that aren't gritted in winter so chances of slipping are higher.

The general car control stuff I want to learn as well I.e more advanced driving techniques, but not necessarily doing IAM or similar - was thinking of driving days with tuition - cornering, braking, lines etc to improve my driving in general. Will have a look at the Don Palmer site - thank you for that tip.

Thanks,

Will
