ILR Goodyear Instructors
Thanks to Goodyear for keeping our instructors looking good and feeling warm.
TADA, Wheels and ILR
We are pleased that TADA have published a Toronto Star Article extolling the benefits of driver training through our schools
Winter Driving School is on!
We finally have enough winter and our iced facility is ready for us to start training drivers how to be safe in limited traction conditions. There is no better way to learn how to control a vehicle on ice than on REAL ice. Please note, we hold these schools in the Fairgrounds in the Town of Minden on solid ground, not a lake!

Winter Driving Schools in Minden Every Saturday from now through March 10 [again, weather permitting] we will be conducting our Winter Driving School. Hope to see you there. Come and test drive a car with Goodyear Ultra-Grip Ice WRT tires, the Official Winter Tire of the ILR Car Control School. Upcoming shows People tell us we have the most unique and amazing advanced driver training, unparalleled in the GTA. But not enough people know about us. So in an attempt to stop being a ‘best kept secret’ we are doing three shows in February. We hope you will come and see us at one or all of the shows. Feb 10-12: Canadian Motorsport Expo Booth 302 International Centre 6900 Airport Road Our theme: Take it to the track. We plan to have Ian’s race car on display and will be promoting our ability to train budding race car drivers and Auto-Slalom enthusiasts. We look forward to having some of our race-experienced Instructors on the booth [even on Saturday where some Instructors will be in Minden for the Winter Driving School]. Feb 14: 7am-4pm International Centre, 6900 Airport Road Canadian Society of Safety Engineering Education Day Our theme: Driving – at work safely. Workplace Safety extends to the driver’s seat. Many corporations and government agencies have and continue to engage ILR Car Control School to train their staff. Just have a look at this 4-minute video to see who we have trained. We look forward to discussing your ‘Corporate’ Driver Training Day. Feb 17-26: Canadian International Auto Show Booth F800 Metro Convention Centre Our theme: Better Driving is no accident This show is produced by the Toronto Automobile Dealer’s Association and is the largest consumer show in Canada with over 350,000 attendees in 2011. As the Official Advanced Driver Training School of the TADA we plan to showcase our Advanced Driver Training schools along with an exotic automobile from one of our generous James Day Fund exotic car owners. Exotic Car Charity Ride Day for the James Fund will be on June 2, 2012 It is not too early to start thinking about our Exotic Car Charity Ride Day for the James Fund supporting Neuroblastoma Research at the Hospital for Sick Children. Check out our previous days and mark it on your 2012 calendar.

Fatigue kills
So you know you are tired and should rest. But it’s only another x km to home……
Shaun reminds us that drowsy drivers are dangerous. Ever get to a destination and can’t remember driving the last 10km?

Training just keeps on working….
“Three years ago, my wife and I were returning around midnight from visiting friends in Peterborough.
Just north of Orono, in a sweeping curve on Hwy 115 southbound, a woman on foot suddenly appeared in the middle of the right lane, my lane!
I was travelling at the limit since the road was dry but dark and with oncoming traffic glare, the low beams did not pick her out until we were almost on top of her. It was instinctive, but firmly based on the training I got from ILR, to do the “brake, steer, brake” around the woman.
I kept control of the vehicle and avoided hitting her or hitting the median barrier and possibly rolling the vehicle.
We stopped on the shoulder and reversed back to where a following car had come to a stop beside the confused and disoriented woman who was now at the shoulder of the road.
We called police and the lady was taken to a local hospital for further care and observation. I firmly believe that had I not had the Car Control School training and practiced what I had learned, that one, but possibly three people, would not have gotten home that night.”
