In Control Crash Prevention Training

Had to come here for work, and it was a great experience. In Control has some really knowledgeable staff and drivers, who are also very good teachers. They had us doing some drill that definitely got my blood pumping, but were very patient, friendly, and good at explaining what to do so that you felt empowered to try it for yourself.
Although they gave us some great information, it was really the hands on practice and training that sets this place apart from your typical driver’s ed school. Plus, it was really fun too! The full day course involved a mix between learning something in the trailer classroom, than going out in the cars to practice. Drills included slaloms, high speed breaking, ABS breaking techniques, tailgating drill, etc. We were given basic training about proper seating position, adjusting mirrors for blind spots, etc.
Yes, this course can be expensive, but I would highly recommend it! I feel like I’m better prepared to handle emergency situations, and I’ve been driving for 14 years! Whether you are a seasoned driver, or just got your permit, you can learn a lot from In Control. Completion of the course awards you a certificate that can be used for insurance discounts too, which is a nice bonus.

In Control Driving hosts a Skid School in Andover. You might have heard of it. Basically, it’s a school where drivers of all ages can go for a day to learn how to better handle emergency driving situations. This school is fantastic. Not only do you learn the kind of things that you usually only learn by driving for many years or being in accidents, but you also get 5% off your car insurance yearly. That is A LOT of money and the cost of the class pays off quickly. I went today and I was a bit skeptical because I wasn’t sure if I could handle the intense driving maneuvers. It wound up being a real blast and I feel really prepared as to what to do when something suddenly runs in front of my car. The head instructor, Brett, was extremely passionate about his work and it seemed very important to him to teach this safety. Thousands of teen drivers die each year because of simple driving mistakes that they could have avoided. Parents, please send your kids to this school. Adults, go to this school. I know that once again I sound like a PDA but seriously, it’s a win win with this.
