We believe that anyone who drives without their full body function needs to be a better driver than everyone else on the road to keep themselves safe. Spending time on the skid pan and race track provides an opportunity for people to discover their limitations as a result of their disability, this is usually related to poor balance in the vehicle in the more extreme situations.  Under normal driving conditions, people drive easily within their capabilities so they never discover what they can and cannot do. Having to brake and turn hard on the skid pan and race track helps people realize their limitations and explore ways of adapting their driving style accordingly as well as their positioning and stabilization in the vehicle. The aim is to prevent drivers from getting into an emergency on the road but also to prepare them for how to handle an emergency if it does happen.

Rolling Rehab has worked in the past with the VW Driving Academy and Mercedes Benz Dynamic Driving at the Zwartkops Raceway. They offer a one-day course that includes the theory of defensive driving as well as practical practice time on the skip pan. Participants need to arrange beforehand to be allowed to drive their own adapted vehicles, or they may choose to drive one of the Academy vehicles which can be fitted with portable hand controls.
