Sectorial Practical Training Centre

One can choose vehicle driving ability and skill improvement classes on wet skid pan. In a modern autodrome with the help of special equipment favourable conditions are created to practice driving on a paving that imitates real ice even in the middle of summer. There are two routes equipped for the improvement of skid control skills. In one of them before the vehicle touches the slippery surface it is pushed sideways with a special panel forcing it to loose stability. Then the driver/student tries to get the car back into the normal trajectory at the same time having to tour round the water obstacles that rise from the surface of the pavement. Thus the driver has an opportunity to develop skills needed for driving under difficult traffic conditions safely, which might help avoiding accidents in the future. The second route is installed on a 6% slope. Here the driver driving down the slope and seeing a water obstacle has to tour round it and safely make a turn. The perception of choosing a safe speed is developed. The driver can realistically evaluate the danger that lurks on the turning when the technical potential of the car is not evaluated. Besides skid pans there are large yards installed for driver training. Here A, B, BE, C, CE, D, driving category practical training is performed.
