Skid Car In ActionOver 65% of the police forces in England and Wales use SKID CAR; leading UK car manufacturers use SKID CAR and SKID CAR is the primary method of teaching skid prevention, within their defensive driving programme, used by the British Armed Forces. A number of British racing circuits and numerous advanced driving schools use SKID CAR. Some county councils are using SKID CAR for driver training of their emergency services along with young, novice, and inexperienced drivers. SKID CAR is now operating in over 22 countries worldwide and is now the 'premier driver training system' for major law enforcement agencies in America.

 

Of the 146 SKID CAR's in the UK only 21 are available for use by the public. Go For It Skid Car is the only commercially available SKID CAR in Wales and is operated at the County Showground, Withybush, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire.

 

Skid Avoidance is a decision-based process that does not diminish with time and is not easily forgotten. Skid Control is a skill-based process that  will diminish with time and that is easily forgotten if not practised regularly.

 

The major cause of all collisions is the driver. Loss of control due to inexperience, an over-estimated belief of skill and ability or just simply a lack of concentration are responsible for ever increasing numbers of deaths and serious injuries on our roads every year. The cost to the economy of the UK of these collisions runs into hundreds of millions of pounds every year - money that could better be spent on health, education or other social issues.

 

But the true cost of these collisions is the personal cost, never being able to work again because of an injury, increased insurance costs and maybe continued finance payments on a car that was insured third-party and is now scrap.

 

In the vast majority of these easily avoidable collisions, the  driver  responsible inevitably placed themselves in a situation that they could not then control.
