No, this isn’t the usual statistically ineffective Driver’s Ed. This is what you really need to know when things go awry on the road. Under the watchful eye of a race driver, you learn skid prevention and control, controlled stops from high speed, and just plain control. Classes are held on a track and on a very slick “skid pad’’ where ineptitude is not punished as you gyrate—there’s nothing to hit. I owe my life to this sort of training received nearly a million miles ago. It’s been better insurance than insurance. Give a course to one you love.
Here are three reputable schools. There may be others near you, usually at a race track. Classes cost about the same as a year’s insurance.
