Car Control Drills Program:
- Two-hour classroom session
with an advanced presentation on the dynamics of driving
- Demonstrations on seat & hand
position, proper mirror adjustment & use and seat belt use
- Four "seat of the
pants" driving drills on a safe and controlled closed course
set up at Ricart
Mega Mall / 4255 South Hamilton Road / Groveport, Oh. / 43125
 |
| Slalom
Exercise: |
 |
Moderate speed, straight line
exercise where students experience the dramatic weight
transfer encountered during rapid direction changes.
Speed of Drill: 10 to 15 MPH |
| |
|
| Wet Braking/Steering
Exercise: |
 |
This
drill trains students how to brake effectively under
slippery conditions with a premium on car control and
maintaining the ability to steer under heavy braking.
Speed of Drill: 25 to 30 MPH |
| |
|
| Emergency Lane Change Exercise: |
 |
Simulating
a highway or multi-lane moderate-speed collision avoidance
situation, this drill trains students how to effectively
use steering (instead of brakes) to avoid an accident.
The lesson here is that maintaining chassis balance through
smooth but deliberate driver inputs is even more critical
at higher speeds.
Speed of Drill: 30 to 35 MPH |
| |
|
| Spin Avoidance Exercise: |
 |
The Spin Avoidance Car is specially modified with a platform
and outrigger system which enables the instructor, who
rides along during the drill, to lessen the car’s
weight at its road wheels. This creates a smaller contact
patch at each tire thus simulating limited traction like
that encountered in rain, snow or ice conditions. The students
drive this specially modified car through a closed loop
course with right and left hand turns experiencing both
under and oversteer situations.
Speed of Drill: 15 to 20 MPH |
- Students participate in
the Car Control Drills Program using the car they drive on a
daily basis. While students do not need to be fully licensed,
they must possess a current learner's permit
- Certificate of completion
for insurance discount purposes
- Cost: $250
- Parents can enroll in the CCD Program and attend with their teen for an additional $95 by using PROMO Code PARENT08 on a separate enrollment
