SUV Program (SUV).  This One-Day Program is designed specially for the driver of the popular vehicles known as SUV, four-wheel-drive, truck, all-wheel-drive, minivan or 4x4. Call them what you please, these modern day “grocery getters” are not cars and cannot not be driven like typical sedans. A high center of gravity, power to all four wheels, massive weight, large size and lots of power make these vehicles behave very differently from cars. Not only do they demand respect from their drivers because of their unusual handling characteristics, but with their weight and mass, they become lethal projectiles to the ever growing segment of lighter fuel efficient cars traversing our highways. .

Our course will let you confidently and safely drive your SUV, addressing:

  • Paved road driving
  • Braking
  • ABS
  • Traction control
  • Following distances
  • Swerving to avoid a crash
  • Skids
  • 4WD in slippery conditions, snow and ice
  • Driving on unimproved roads
