Yesterday we had our drivers security training (Do you say so? in german it is "Fahrsicherheitstraining")... That was a lot of fun.

^^^ cool fun

Schnibbi

Ehm... the lesson was not to turn or to spin but to catch the car before it starts to turn So even the TT did not right

But it was a lot more fun to turn and spin around then simply driving straight ahead.

you can notice that rx8s stop in a much shorter distance than that audi tt. he went 3/4 down the little track.

Schnibbi

Yea right. The TT needed about 80m downhill on slippery road to stop where i needed about 30m...

Nobody answered if drivers security/safety ?? training is right? Is there something similar in the states?

sure there is.

i attended something similar by toyota. forgot what is called, toyota driving development? i also attended another event called Drivers Edge. both were free, just had to sign up.

and then there are dozens of paid schools. (i mean real schools, not the **** one has to go through to get their license.) like skip barber.

The training we attended took 8 hours and 165 Euro (about 240 USD) at Germany's largest automobile club.
