SAFE DRIVING BASIC COURSE
Course duration: 1 day
It’s the basic course, representing the start of the long journey to achieve the full control of the car.
Learner drivers are taught about important rules for an absolutely safe driving and learn to react promptly and most of all correctly to the possible danger situations which may occur daily on the road.
The course takes place on the equipped proving ground and on handling circuits.
During the safe driving basic course the following themes and exercises are dealt with:
1. Correct driving attitude and basic knowledge of the vehicle’s dynamic behaviours: without a correct driving posture even the simplest manoeuvre becomes impossible and it will be definitely harder to react in case of danger.
2. Slalom and gymkhana (car rodeo): weaving in and out of prearranged skittles, at first slowly and then increasing engine revolutions to cause a controlled skid.
Guaranteed amusement and excellent control acquired.
3. Braking techniques and methodologies: emergency braking avoiding the obstacle on dry ground; emergency braking avoiding the obstacle on wet ground;
differentiated braking on low grip grounds (ice sheet effect).
Obviously all this is performed with and without ABS braking system.
4. Concepts of oversteer and understeer and techniques to prevent and correct them.
5. Handling exercises on apposite circuits.
