The SkidCar System is a hydraulically-controlled unit mounted to the suspension on the training vehicle that exactly duplicates the loss of tire traction at very low speeds (6 to 25 mph).   Using an electro-hydraulic pump, the mechanism reduces traction by raising or  lowering the vehicle's tires from the road, duplicating hazardous driving conditions such as ice, snow, rain, or oil- or gas-slickened roads.  This low-speed training tool teaches drivers how to avoid skids and loss of control.  It has become a critical component of many public safety and low enforcement driver training programs.  From inside the car, the instructor can control the system's 20 different traction settings that duplicate a full range of hazardous driving conditions, and instantly lowers the tires to full contact with the road surface. 

Transportation Research Center Inc.'s Driver Training Program includes evasive skill, vehicle dynamics, and high-performance training, with drive/vehicle/road relationship emphasis.
