Over 40,000 people are killed each year on our nation’s roads in motor vehicle collisions. Ninety percent of these mishaps are due in some part to driver error. Through the advanced highway driver course, students will reduce the chances of being involved in a collision.

The Advanced Driver Training course focuses on the ability to systematically control the position and speed of the vehicle in a smooth and safe fashion. The course will enhance skills learned in existing driver education courses or through years of driving experience to coordinate vehicle handling skills with mental concentration, anticipation and planning. The training day emphasizes a minimum of classroom instruction with the primary focus being in-vehicle practical application using ACADEMI-provided training vehicles. Skills discussed in the classroom will be applied on the track using various drills designed to have the student experience multiple weight transfers, corrective skid control measures and the use of multiple traction environments.

AIM-To teach the student to use observation, planning and vehicle-handling skills to respond effectively to any hazardous situation that might arise during highway driving.

Topics
Understanding instinctive response
Driver reaction
Controlling sensory input
Proper use of the eyes
Steering wheel management
Proper body position
Emergency braking techniques (ABS and non-ABS)
Weight transfer control
Anticipatory driving
Correct tire inflation pressure
Straight-line braking
Braking and turning/turning and braking
Multiple lane-avoidance drills
Instinctive reaction drills (surprise)
Distracted driver skills
Off-road recovery drills
Skid control on skid pad
Highway-speed driving techniques
