Solar Turbines Driving School

Solar Turbines Winter Driving Course

Never confuse confidence with competence. Our Winter Driving School has been developed with over 20 years of experience in skid control education. This course will give you the skills and proper instincts necessary to deal with changing road conditions and harsh winter driving.

After a short classroom session, you’ll be driving your own vehicle (on winter tires) on our safe and open skidpad and slalom areas through a variety of exercises.  You’ll learn how your particular vehicle handles and reacts on snow and ice, as well as how the safety systems installed in your vehicle (ABS, Trac, DSC, etc) function for and against you in different situations.

You’ll also be performing Accident Avoidance maneuvers, a vital and potentially life-saving part of any driver education (and one that works as well in the summer as the winter). The day will wrap up with a drive around a series of open roads here at our facility. Students go up and down hills and around corners, practicing the skills and reactions that you learned on the skidpad and slalom courses.

IMPORTANT COURSE INFO:
The cost of the Winter Driving School is $699, please pay on this page in advance. The class runs from approximately 8:30am-4pm. We will meet you at the Littleton, NH Hampton Inn at 8am and lead you to the course. Students should be aware other students may ride in their car, and you will need to remove all loose items prior to the course. We do require having winter tires on your vehicle as you will get much more out of the course (and have a safer driving experience all winter long). Please have a full tank of gas.

Please eat breakfast before arrival. We do feed you lunch, upon arrival at the school you will order lunch off a menu of sandwiches and salads. We have refrigerators if you have specific dietary needs.

Although we do our best to keep you and your vehicle safe, there is always a chance for vehicle damage. Students are responsible for any damage to your vehicle, please only participate if you understand this risk.
