.: Defensive Driving Techniques Training – 1 :.
 



It is given to the groups of 24 people in Istanbul, groups of 3 people in Ankara and Izmir in 3 different sittings in Autodrom facilities with special training vehicles (Skidcar) and the vehicles that assigned by yourself.

The training is continued during half a day and applied in 3 parts.

1st Part – The Defensive Driving Techniques (Theoretical 1 Hour)
2nd Part – Scidcar (Practical 1 Hour 30 Minutes)
3rd Part – Driving Safety and Vehicle Dynamics (Practical 1 Hour 30 Minutes)

There are 5 basic aims of the training program;

It gives the neccassary information to be perceived of the risky situation beforehand and teaches how to defend against to the possible accidents,
It provides to be ready for slippery grounds, urgent brakes and the sudden difficulties,
It teaches the air, road and traffic conditions’ effects on driving and the true things that should be applied,
It provides to improve the steering wheel control and to be comprehended of vehicle dynamics
It gives the opportunity to practice of the operating principles of the systems such as ABS, ESP

1st Part
The Defensive Driving Techniques (Theoretical)

What is defensive driving?
Protection from crash
The precautions that will be taken to analyzing and feeling the crash moment
Perceiving the danger and defense
Right action on time
Accident scenarios
Three stages of crash
Physical and psychological conditions
Factors distracting the attention
Concentration
Factors out of control (other drivers, pedestrians etc.)
Sudden reactions
Weather, road and light conditions
Traffic conditions
Sliding control
Using of rearview mirrors
2 rule factor in driving (Right analysis, slowed drive)
Stopping distances and scenarios
Steering wheel control
The risks in dangerous driving

2nd Part
SKIDCAR (Practical)

There are 1 instructor and 3 participants in every vehicle in the trainings.
Every participant drives the vehicle 30 minutes.
The theoretical information is also explained by the instructor in the car during the training.

TRAINING CONTENTS

FIRST START AND ACCELERATION AT SLIPPERY SURFACE
The correct first depart principles at slippery surface,
BRAKING AT DRY AND SLIPPERY SURFACE
The stopping distance changes at different speed and ground conditions,
ESCAPE FROM OBSTACLE AND BRAKING
The weight transfer, the technique of escaping from the obstacle with steering wheel move and stopping with right braking,
FOLLOWING DISTANCE AND PANIC BRAKE
The way of determining following distance and sudden brake practices,
UNDERSTEERING AND OVERSTREERING AT CURVES
The negative effects of weight transfer related to speed and the importance of speed at swinging,
BRAKING AT SLIPPERY SURFACE (CURVES)
It is shown with applications that the sudden brake which will be apply when entering a curve with high speed will change the vehicle’s weight transfer and sliding will start.

3rd Part
Driving Safety and Vehicle Dynamics (Practical)

In the trainings with skidpad which creates different road holding conditions; the practice of braking, escaping from obstacle and the safety equipments like ABS, ESP are done.
This part is done at the area that is closed for common traffic and every participant uses the vehicle for 30 minutes.
