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. \n \n \n \nThe 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. \n \n \n \nAIM-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. \n \n \n \nTopics \n \n \n \n \nUnderstanding instinctive response \n \n \n \nDriver reaction \n \n \n \nControlling sensory input \n \n \n \nProper use of the eyes \n \n \n \nSteering wheel management \n \n \n \nProper body position \n \n \n \nEmergency braking techniques (ABS and non-ABS) \n \n \n \nWeight transfer control \n \n \n \nAnticipatory driving \n \n \n \nCorrect tire inflation pressure \n \n \n \nStraight-line braking \n \n \n \nBraking and turning/turning and braking \n \n \n \nMultiple lane-avoidance drills \n \n \n \nInstinctive reaction drills (surprise) \n \n \n \nDistracted driver skills \n \n \n \nOff-road recovery drills \n \n \n \nSkid control on skid pad \n \n \n \nHighway-speed driving techniques \n \n \n \n \npre-Requisites \n \n \n \n \nCurrent, valid drivers license \n \n \n \n \n  \n \n \n \nGear requirement \n \n \n \n \nClothing appropriate for climate and conditions \n \n \n \nA water bottle or other hydration system \n \n \n \n \nMethod of instruction \n \n \n \nTen percent classroom instruction and 90 percent in-vehicle training including high-G maneuvers. \n \n \n \nSkill Prerequisites \n \n \n \nValid driver’s license (if less than 18 years of age, parent or guardian must be on-site). \n URL:https://www.constellis.com/events/advanced-driver-training-hiway-safety-4/ ORGANIZER;CN=Academi Training Center:MAILTO: CATEGORIES:Training Courses LOCATION:850 Puddin Ridge Rd Moyock NC 27958 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Target-image.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
