Skid Monster Teaches Life Saving Driving Skills

The Skid Monster has a set of castering wheels capable of rotating 360 degrees which are attached to the rear wheels.

 

 

How can you teach drivers the sickening feeling of helplessness one gets when the car they are tailgating slams into it? How can drivers experience the consequences of going fast into a curve? How can drivers feel what it's like to lose traction to the vehicle's rear tires causing the car to spin out of control? How do you teach the hopeless despair of hitting a patch of black ice and having only a fraction of a second to correct the fishtailing car? How can we motivate a change in the high-risk driver? How do you convince drivers of the importance of having their vision 30 seconds ahead of the car?

We offer a wide range of driver risk-reduction programs including:

    Corporate Programs 
    Municipal Programs 
    Police, Fire, EMS Emergency Vehicle Programs
    Advanced Driver Performance Programs
    Military Driver Enhancement Programs
    Teen and Senior Driver Programs

Skid Monster gives hands-on experience to prevent, detect and correct loss of traction.

 

2) National Institute for Driving Behavior College 

Welcome to The National Institute for Driver Behavior College

The National Institute for Driver Behavior (NIDB) is dedicated to the premise that education is an essential component in the formula for crash reduction. There is a need to have clearly defined criteria for driver behavior for all drivers so that they can, over a period of time, acquire and internalize a style of low-risk driving.

The National Institute for Driver Behavior is a nonprofit 501c foundation dedicated to the premise that education is an essential component in the formula for crash reduction.
To compensate for the driver's ever present risk we have defined standards for driver behavior so that one can, over a period of time, acquire and internalize them into low-risk driving habits.
With the empowerment of such habits, proactive decisions can be made to minimize one's risk exposure and to reduce driver stress.
