The SkidCar System is an advanced, computer-controlled driver training tool. Its ladder frame consists of hydraulic outrigger casters mounted to the suspension of the training vehicle. When activated by the instructor, the System lifts the vehicle off the ground just enough to compromise the tire adhesion to the road surface. As a result, the car skids as if it were going 60 miles per hour, when in reality it is traveling at a much safer speed (6 to 25 m.p.h.).

The effect of skidding across the road's surface produced by the SkidCar can be alarming. Anyone who has ever hit a slick patch of pavement while driving will immediately recognize the feeling. The intent is for the trainee to learn how to react quickly and safely when confronted with such a situation in reality. Because the SkidCar exactly duplicates loss of tire traction in hazardous driving conditions such as ice, snow, rain or slick roads from oil or gas spills, it is a very effective training tool. Our goal is to reduce injuries to members' employees and damages to members' properties.
