RoadAwareness Winter Car Control Contest
We are pleased to announce the first ever give-away driving school contest by RoadAwareness.org! In partnership with the ILR Car Control School, RoadAwareness.org is presenting a random draw to some lucky winners.
This is the first of five Winter Car Control School prize days to be held at the Minden Fairgrounds in Ontario, Canada where lucky winners will learn to drive in extreme situations on ice so slick that you can barely walk on it. The cost of this program is normally $350 but really the value is priceless. This school could save your life or that of a loved one.
Special Guests at our Winter Driving School
On January 9th of 2010, Sympatico.ca sent a film crew to join us at our Winter Driving school. They were there to produce a 5 minute video for their website visitors on how to be better winter drivers. One of their crew members Mike, took our course, including classroom and driving exercises and edited a quick “how to” for their viewers. We also helped them with technical advice and driving expertise on their other 5 minute video explaining how winter tires work. With fellow race car driver Rick Bye, we helped Symaptico.ca explain how well winter tires work compared to “all season” tires using a Porsche Cayenne and Boxster S. Much of the Boxster footage was done with Ian driving.
