01 Independent school for licensed drivers · Kyiv

Practise the skid before the road asks for it.

Defensive driving on a closed pad: wet braking, cone layouts and hazard drills. You bring a full licence; we bring the surface, the dual-control car and a coach beside you.

Controlled environment

A closed pad, not a public road

Every exercise runs on our own asphalt outside Kyiv: a wet braking lane, a skid pad and a marked cone layout. Licensed drivers only, in dual-control cars with an instructor in the passenger seat.

Module matrix

What you practise, and what we observe

Each module runs on our private pad with dual-control vehicles. Outcomes are observed during the session and vary by driver; they are not guarantees.

Code Module Duration Hazard focus Vehicle Observed outcome
CL-01 Wet braking baseline 90 min Standing water, aquaplaning onset FWD sedan, dual control Braking distance measured before and after
CL-02 Emergency lane change 120 min Sudden obstacle, rear-end risk FWD sedan, dual control Mirror and shoulder checks before steering input
CL-03 Skid initiation and recovery 120 min Low-grip cornering, oversteer RWD sedan, dual control Counter-steer and throttle release timing
CL-04 Hazard recognition scan 60 min Urban junction, pedestrian masking Briefing room and pad Earlier hazard callouts on a scripted route
CL-05 Night and low visibility 90 min Glare, wet asphalt at night FWD sedan, dual control Speed choice matched to sight distance

Group size is capped at six drivers per instructor. Full descriptions and pricing sit on the courses page; to reserve a date, use the contact form.

Hazard sequence

Three hazards rehearsed on the pad before they happen on the road.

Each scenario runs in short repeats inside the closed environment. The instructor calls the hazard, you answer with a decision, not a reflex.

  1. 01

    Junction entry

    You arrive at 40 km/h, off the throttle. A vehicle rolls out of a side street with a blocked sightline. The drill checks mirror use, gap judgement and the plan B you already chose.

    Signal
    Blocked sightline
    Drill
    12 repeats, dual control
  2. 02

    Pedestrian out of cover

    A pedestrian steps from behind a parked van at 30 km/h. You practise the shoulder check, a straight-line stop on the wet braking lane, and steering only after speed is down.

    Signal
    Cover, then movement
    Drill
    Stop, then steer
  3. 03

    Winter visibility

    Visibility shortens to the length of a cone line. Low beam, dipped speed and a longer following gap, then a stop inside the distance you can actually see.

    Signal
    Cone line as horizon
    Drill
    Stop within sight distance
