Learning skid control
If you signed-up for the Driver’s Edge course at Fedex Field, this is a reminder it’s this Saturday and Sunday (June 18th and June 19th). Here is my original article about it in case you missed it. If you are unsure about taking the time out of your weekend to attend…. let me just tell you GO! You will be surprised at everything you will learn as a parent or young driver. It’s an incredible course, and it’s Free! I can’t stress enough how great these courses are and how much you will gain from it. It’s really the type of thing you will have to do to realize how much you don’t know about handling a car. Especially since American driver education is bad. We definitely need to improve as a nation. In Europe it is much more difficult to get a license, and it can take years. In most US states the driving standards for getting a license are lax. This creates a population of dangerous, unskilled, and unaware driver’s on our roads. Driver’s Edge is not just about teaching people to drive, it’s about saving people’s lives.
I couldn’t get to the show. Are there any classes available to the public to teach how to correctly maneuver a car in emergency situations to avoid an accident – actually driving a car to learn how to do particular maneuvers?
The only other course similar to Driver’s Edge I know about is the Street Survival School. You have to pay $75, but it’s supposed to be well worth the money.
How was this advertised ? and how is it that community where the event took place knew nothing about it? I only heard about this the day of the event on News channel four. I’m sure my son would have loved to participate. How did this event get advertised?
I don’t believe it is “Advertised!” Bridgestone, Driver’s Edge sponsor, does try to get the word out, but since it is a non-profit organization I doubt they would spend money advertising. I knew about it because I attended a session a few years ago. I will post the next time Driver’s Edge will be coming back to the area, so be sure to check my website once in awhile.
