The Skid Monster
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.
