Among the lessons that will be learned in the program includes Theory and practice, Emergency braking module, Avoidance module and Precision driving module.

Theory and practice

During the 4-hour course, each participant first learns a few theoretical lessons and next takes part in three technical challenge modules. The goal is to educate young drivers on the appropriate driving techniques in order to help them master the various skills due to better control their vehicle and to prevent the unexpected.

The first module is a classroom session on vehicle tuning and its affect on driving. Participants memorize about safe environments where they can legally put their machines — and their guts — to the analysis. After all, the public road network is not a giant racetrack.

Emergency braking module

Behind the wheel of grade new Chevy cars, drivers are taught how to brake on a wet surface and what precisely is “threshold braking”. None of the cars is equipped with ABS — the automotive reality for young drivers. They realize how tough it is to control a car during emergency braking maneuvers,

particularly when trying to avoid an obstacle.

Avoidance module

On a wet track, participants must enter a square at 60 km/h and watch for the stoplights that indicate which way to turn — left or right. At the same duration, they must stop their car completely. that goes to show them how much day and distance are called for when trying to change lanes in order to avoid another car, a cyclist or an errand basketball.

Precision driving module

On a narrow track, you must remain 100 percent sharp and focused not to hit a individual orange cone. In order to succeed, developing “long-term vision” is crucial. Indeed, you have to trust your eyes increasingly than your feet while getting used to looking farther ahead than usual.
