SkidCar Driver Training Program

The Alabama Municipal Insurance Corporation and the Municipal Workers Compensation Fund is pleased to provide the Proactive Driver Training program for law enforcement personnel and other municipal employees in Alabama.

The Swedish-made, state-of-the-art SkidCar System has been shown to instill better driving instincts to help drivers maintain control in the most difficult real-life situations. The vehicle is designed to aid in the development of driving techniques that would be risky to learn in a regular vehicle at higher speeds.

The Proactive Driver Training program consists of a day-long session in which students are trained using the SkidCar System. The first hour of the course takes place in a classroom setting. The remainder of the program is hands-on and completed in shifts. Three participants ride in the vehicle (one driving, two in the back seat) with the instructor while the remaining six observe how the vehicle responds and help maintain the training course.
