Practical Driver Improvement for Civilians
Filed under MINI, Photos
Here are some pics from a driving class I took back in December of 2003. The class is called “Practical Driver Improvement for Civilians.” It was such a blast! It is taught by police officers using the same course used to train police. The course is just outside of Kilgore, Texas. About 90% of the class is spent in your car. The 2 day course only cost $75, which is a steal! You also can get a discount from your insurance for taking the class.
The class has 6 lessons:
-
Evasive Lane Change accident avoidance
-
Perception / Reaction Emergency Lane Changes for accident avoidance
-
Evasive Maneuvering for Accident Avoidance (”serpentine” course)
-
Precision Maneuvering Courses
-
Precision Backing Courses
-
Highway Response Courses
It is a lot of fun to learn what your car can and, more importantly, cannot do. You are not learning anything unless your car looses control!
