Skid Control Monster

Questions you should be asking–



The answer!

The Skid Monster–

A powerful tool for risk-prevention education.

How can drivers be taught the sickening feeling of helplessness one gets when the car they are tailgating slams on the brakes and their car crashes into it?

How can drivers experience the consequences of going too fast into a curve?

How can drivers feel what its like to lose traction to the vehicle's tires?

How do you teach the hopeless despair of hitting a patch of black ice and having only a fraction of a second to correct the fishtailing car?

How do we teach drivers to prevent skids?

How can we motivate the high-risk driver to change behavior?


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.
