Full counter-emergency training is not a cheap pleasure. However, all the skills and lessons learned will not only come to your aid in emergency situations, but will also help you get more pleasure and comfort when driving.
A competent instructor in counter-emergency training is a universal teacher. In addition to direct training of driving skills, he will make you remember the laws of physics, elements of human physiology and conduct psychotherapy. Yes, the student will have to strain the convolutions, step over the most natural and ingrained psychological barriers, but all this work will allow him to perceive the banal movement by car from point A to point B in a completely different way.
Feng Shui
Human physiology is very important in driving a machine. First of all, the instructor will force the student in the driver's seat. The almost vertical position of the torso and the short distance to the steering wheel - such is the racing landing. However, in fact, there is nothing Spartan in this.
№1. The human vestibular apparatus works ideally precisely with the vertical position of the torso. Due to this, the driver can timely feel the beginning of the loss of stable movement of the car (drift germs from a skid). The reverse side of the coin - for example, I have problems with my back and it hurt for about a week, getting used to its new position. But after training, the back gets tired and worried much less often. Even driving a car with frankly uncomfortable seats no longer causes as much discomfort as before.
№2. A close position to the steering wheel is the key to maximum speed of its rotation. This is extremely important during emergency maneuvers, there are even standards for professional drivers of special services: for a certain time you need to have time to turn the steering wheel from lock to lock a certain number of times. Even with the right fit, you will have to practice for the sake of a good result, and if you sit incorrectly, you definitely won’t meet the standard.
№3. Only when it is possible to accurately lay the trajectory of movement, whether it is a turn or an emergency detour of an obstacle. At the same time, the driver feels good grip of the front wheels with the road surface. It is important not to lose such feedback when you have to turn the steering wheel at large angles. In this case, when intercepting the steering wheel, it is important to maintain the correct position of the hands.
With an incorrect driving position, the feeling of the car is dulled, and the driver's actions will not be accurate enough. This is clearly seen, for example, when a snake passes at high speed on the site. But, as soon as the instructor conveys the essence of the problem to the student and puts him in the correct position, the result will immediately improve.
№4. Additionally, the use of a platform under the left foot will help to improve the quality of driver maneuvers. At the time, this was a revelation for me. During sharp maneuvers, especially with seats without pronounced lateral support and with conventional three-point belts, the driver imperceptibly begins to hold on to the steering wheel. Accordingly, the quality of work with the steering wheel drops significantly. However, it is worth resting your left foot on the platform, and the same snake can be driven at a much higher speed.
Syndrome
Human psychology is very insidious. A few seemingly natural and logical self-preservation instincts often lead to disastrous results. For example, even where the driver’s eyes are directed is important.
№5. Whatever skills the driver has, he will always arrive where he looks. In no case should you focus on an obstacle when driving around it. In a mysterious way, this psychological nuance makes you perform any action other than the right one. That is why, even on a spacious snowy area, you can always come to a single pillar, purposefully training or just enjoying sideways riding!
№6. Probably the most dangerous psychological reflex is to brake urgently to the last. It is certainly important to maximize the speed. However, it is also necessary to be able to release the brake so that braking does not interfere with the correct maneuver. This nuance has not lost its relevance even with the advent of exchange rate stability systems and the simplest anti-lock braking system ABS.
When braking hard on a car that is deprived of even the simplest electronic ABS assistant, there is a high risk of blocking the front wheels. In this case, it is useless to turn the steering wheel - the car will continue to move in a straight line. ABS and retain the ability to drive a car in various conditions, but do not cancel the laws of physics. The front wheels are constantly subjected to longitudinal (acceleration and deceleration) and transverse (turning) forces. Their interaction characterizes the Kamm circle. For example, a wheel blocked during braking (excessive longitudinal force) is no longer able to transmit any turning force (lateral force). Therefore, even with the intervention of ABS, the brake pedal pressed to the floor greatly increases the turning radius. And vice versa, no assistants will make the car fit into the turn when the speed of the car is too high.
The laws of physics that are difficult to perceive are best conveyed to the student by the “rearrangement” exercise. It repeats the well-known "moose test", but provides for intensive braking before avoiding an obstacle. The instructor arranges the cones in such a way that it is very difficult to fit into the artificial frames. You need to act accurately. If you do not release the brake pedal before turning the steering wheel, even with electronic assistants, the car will go in a wider arc and blow off a couple of plastic stops.

The main rule when getting into a skid - do not slow down! And no, we are not talking about the inexperience of the driver, but about the fact that sharply locked wheels completely deprive the driver of the ability to drive the car. There are only 2 ways to deal with a skid, and each type of drive has its own.
IN website we are sure that you know these methods, but we still prepared a couple of secrets from extreme driving experts for you.
Where to expect danger
- Most of the rolled ice is where they most often slow down - before turns, pedestrian crossings, entrances to bus stops. Pay special attention to bridges, tunnels, entrances and exits from flyovers. It is best to move there at a constant speed, and slow down in advance.
- In winter, the distance with the car in front should be 2 times greater than in summer. But you should not lag too far behind, otherwise someone will definitely decide to wedge in, and this is a risk for 3 participants in the movement at once.
- Don't just look at the car in front of you. Try to keep her in sight, but look further - 4-5 cars ahead. This way you will see dangerous sections of the road even before the car you are following hits them.
- In winter, it is worth abandoning the habit of depressing the clutch pedal simultaneously with the brake pedal. In this case, the car stops only due to the brake pads, which can block the wheels, and then the car will go into a skid.
Owners of cars with ABS. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is an extremely useful feature of most foreign cars, which neutralizes the brake pedal sharply squeezed to the floor on an icy road. Instead of hard braking, the system causes the pedal to vibrate, allowing you to turn the steering wheel to enter a corner or return the car to a desired position.
Owners of cars without ABS. Extreme driving instructors consider the best way of braking in winter conditions to be combined: simultaneously with the operation of the brake pedal, stop the car with the engine (shift into a lower gear). Brake should be impulsive - alternate a series of short presses on the brake pedal with a complete unlocking of the wheels.
3 types of skid
- Slip: the front axle is stable, the rear axle is slipping, the car turns more than expected.
- Demolition: the rear wheels are stable, and the front wheels slide, when turning, the car moves in a straight line.
- Complete destabilization: all 4 wheels slide, the direction of movement cannot be predicted.
How to get out of a skid
If the car went into a skid - don't slow down.
If you have rear wheel drive car - you need to release the gas while turning the steering wheel in the direction of skidding
If you have front wheel drive car - add gas.
When the car is out of the skid, you need to straightaway return the steering wheel to the “straight” position, otherwise it will go into a new skid in the other direction.
Tricks and tricks
Checking the road. Leaving on a winter road, several times sharply press and release a brake pedal. If the car "nods" - the grip is excellent, if there are no slowdowns and you can hear the tires rubbing in the skid - the road is covered with ice. This should be done as often as possible (without creating emergency situations, of course).
The "double division" formula. If in summer you fly on this section of the road at a speed of 100 km/h, then in winter you should crawl there at 50 km/h. We entered the turn at 80, in winter, drop it to 40. Then you definitely won’t fly out to the side of the road and you will be able to respond to a skid in time.
Why do you need an emergency driving course?
Highways are known to be a high-risk area. Almost every driver has a chance to get into one or another extreme situation. From this no one is immune in our time. It is almost impossible to predict the reaction and behavior of a person who got into an extreme situation by car. However, you can avoid the negative consequences of an extreme situation on the road. It all depends on the level of training and experience of the driver. Special driving courses in extreme situations will help you gain confidence and peace of mind on the road.

The school of counter-emergency training at the AMK FSO offers its services in improving the level of driver training. At the end of our emergency driving courses, the student will be ready for any emergency situation on the road. At the same time, I would like to point out the fact that we do not teach extreme driving as recklessness, which in itself is a threat to the life of the driver and other road users surrounding him. In our emergency training center, the main emphasis is on safety, on how to avoid emergency situations! Here you need to clearly understand that counter-emergency driving is a set of specific measures aimed at reducing the risks of road users. |
The program of the course "Counter-emergency training"
Classes in our center of driving skills are conducted by highly qualified instructors who have been trained by the best specialists, both in Russia and abroad, who in fact have repeatedly managed to confirm their highest professional level.During the lessons on counter-emergency training, all aspects of driving skills will be explained to the listeners in the most accessible form, the listeners will learn a lot of new things about reflex driving.
Teach beginners and professionals
For experienced drivers, we have both a winter program of emergency training courses (from November to April) for front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive vehicles, and a summer program (from May to October).
Winter training period (from November to April):
– features of driving a front-wheel drive car on a slippery road;
- effective methods for improving the controllability and stabilization of a front-wheel drive car;
– as early as possible to feel, to cause and stop the skidding of the rear axle and the demolition of the front axle of a front-wheel drive car;
– techniques for emergency maneuvering in a front-wheel drive vehicle.
The goals of the program are to teach the driver:
– as soon as possible to feel, to cause and stop the skidding of the car;
– brake confidently without losing control, incl. urgently, on a slippery road;
- emergency maneuvering on slippery roads.
Summer period of study (from May to October):
The goals of the program are to teach the driver:
- the basic technical methods of safe driving;
– technical methods of emergency braking and maneuvering;
- maneuvering technique, to form a "sense of size" of the car.
The goals of the program are to teach the driver:
- improve the driver's skills of safe driving;
- to teach the driver the technical methods of emergency braking and maneuvering;

Give a course of emergency driving to your loved ones
Today, many people are worried about their relatives, friends, colleagues - regular road users. This is not surprising: recently, difficult traffic situations have been encountered at every turn. But, as practice shows, many refuse to take additional courses to improve driving skills, referring to the lack of time, money and permanent employment. These are just excuses. It always makes sense to help a person close to you improve his counter-emergency driving skill. You can present him as a gift with counter-emergency training courses at the Safe Driving Training Center of the Automotor Club of the Federal Security Service of Russia.
At your request, you can issue both a classic gift certificate and a certificate for a specific event:
Discount for regular customers
From May 1, 2016, a system of discounts will be introduced. The discount is provided after the trainee has completed one training course at the Safe Driving Training Center of the Automoto Club of the Federal Security Service of Russia in any period of study (winter, summer), is issued in the form of a loyalty card and amounts to:
Are there any specific driving courses for women? It would seem that all questions regarding the ability of the fair sex to control complex equipment were removed by cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova half a century ago. Unfortunately, the fruits of professional and everyday emancipation were used more effectively by women in Western countries. And, indeed, today in the US, the percentage of both sexes on the road is about 50/50.
In Russia, unfortunately, things are not so optimistic. Male motorists continue to dominate, and their share is about 80%. You can still hear ridiculous statements about "a woman's place in the kitchen." The blame for everything is the traditional patriarchy of Russian society, in which a woman is assigned the role of "keeper of the hearth." As a result, many Russian women have agreed since childhood that they are not supposed to “turn the steering wheel” by nature. Hence - fears, suspiciousness and uncertainty.
Extreme driving courses for women
Sounds kinda scary, right? However, acquiring extreme driving skills is the most effective tool for overcoming inequality on the roads. Judge for yourself, an ordinary driving school will teach you, at best, the rules of behavior in standard situations - keep a safe speed, perform basic maneuvers, recognize signs, markings and traffic controller signals.
Unfortunately, in the event of an emergency situation, a woman (ceteris paribus) is less likely to avoid an accident than a man due to the physical advantages of the latter. However, this can be compensated by acquired special skills! And not only compensate, but also come out ahead! Suffice it to recall the beautiful Danica Patrick, who won the NASCAR race, ahead of a whole peloton of the best racing drivers in the world.
Today, extreme driving courses for women help the representatives of the weaker half of humanity feel confident behind the wheel and become on the road not just a “guest”, but a sovereign hostess. Let's see what that means.
- Countermeasure preparation. This is the basic discipline of extreme driving courses for women, which, although it goes beyond the scope of traffic rules, is highly in demand on public roads. Contingency training will allow you to competently drive a car in the event of a critical situation (skid, sudden obstacle), reducing the risk of it flowing into a serious accident. Emergencies are simulated on the training grounds so that you learn to recognize them in advance and respond correctly.
- Quasi-sport training. This is an advanced extreme driving course for women that allows you to explore absolutely all the possibilities of a car. In this case, techniques from the arsenal of rally and track racing are used (sliding, drifting ...), which are not applicable on public roads. But if you want to experience a storm of emotions from driving or are planning a sports career, then why not?
- Psychological preparation. The main rival for a woman behind the wheel is not the road, not the car and not other road users, but she herself. It is necessary to overcome all fears, insecurities and complexes imposed for decades "inferiority". To do this, in extreme driving courses for women, special emphasis is placed on psychology. Ultimately, the cadet must acquire a strong conviction in her abilities.
