What is a SkidCar?
 A Pro Drive SkidCar is a vehicle fitted with a unique steel frame and
hydraulic platform. This innovative system recreates situations
that allow the driver to experience different types of skids in
an environment that encourages learning. The SkidCar is so effective
at developing superior driving skills, it is the preferred training
tool for law enforcement agencies and professional training centers
around the world.
The Problem:
Traffic crashes are the number one cause of workplace death and
injury in the United States, costing businesses 50 billion dollars
each year in sick time, higher insurance premiums, higher medical
costs, and losses in productivity. *
