Advanced Highway Safety (AHS)
Our Advanced Highway Safety course is designed to improve car control skills focusing on developing an understanding of what car control is all about. We start with determining current skills and understanding on an individual basis then focus on evolving skill development through drills. Students will learn preparation skills and how to take proper corrective action during a highway emergency at highway speeds.
Topics:
Driver Focus & Sensory Input Control
Steering wheel management
Instinctive Response –driver reactions
Proper Body Position
Weight Transfer – accelerate, decelerate and turn
Tire Patch – acceleration, deceleration and turning
Tire Inflation
ABS vs Non-ABS Braking
Braking Techniques ABS & Non-ABS
Skid Control
Off Road Recovery
Gear
None.
Prerequisites
None.

About This Course
This 3-day course will take an individual with little or no experience with scoped precision rifles through all the training required to become self-sufficient in the operation and handling of a rifle. ACADEMI instructors are all qualified military or law enforcement snipers with many years of experience in the field; student-to-instructor ratio for this course is 4:1. All topics presented during the course are necessary fundamentals of long-distance marksmanship. The instruction is detailed and comprehensive, and students will come away with a solid foundation on which to build their long rifle shooting skills for hunting or for target practice.

Over 40,000 people are killed each year on our nation’s roads in motor vehicle collisions. Ninety percent of these mishaps are due in some part to driver error. Through the advanced highway driver course, students will reduce the chances of being involved in a collision.
The Advanced Driver Training course focuses on the ability to systematically control the position and speed of the vehicle in a smooth and safe fashion. The course will enhance skills learned in existing driver education courses or through years of driving experience to coordinate vehicle handling skills with mental concentration, anticipation and planning. The training day emphasizes a minimum of classroom instruction with the primary focus being in-vehicle practical application using ACADEMI-provided training vehicles. Skills discussed in the classroom will be applied on the track using various drills designed to have the student experience multiple weight transfers, corrective skid control measures and the use of multiple traction environments.
AIM-To teach the student to use observation, planning and vehicle-handling skills to respond effectively to any hazardous situation that might arise during highway driving.
