The Skid Monster is a specially designed car that teaches very effectively – without leaving the parking lot! While the car may be traveling only 15 mph, the rolling traction from castering wheels simulates driving four times that speed and demonstrates what happens when speed is too fast for road conditions or for traffic situations! It handles just like a normal car until the instructor flips a switch to release the casters, and then the car, if it is mismanaged, becomes a MONSTER!
The Skid Monster effectively enables the driver to conclude that it is much easier to keep the car in control as compared to getting it back in control once it becomes a monster. An analogy can be made to having a wild animal secured in a confined area and the ease and prediction of managing its existence, as compared to the animal having escaped its restraints and the difficulties and the unknowns of getting it back in control. The Skid Monster puts every driver on a level playing field. For the novice driver learning is accelerated ten times. For the experienced driver the Skid Monster is a relentless teacher that detects and responds to every error that is made. The monster graphically illustrates the need to value, develop, nurture, and ultimately ingrain in the driver behaviors that can result in lifelong crash-prevention habits.
Students and parents are encouraged to attend together. Please dress for an outside activity.
