testimonials

Most Skid School students hear about us word of mouth. Here's why: 
"I wanted to extend a sincere thank you to you all for running the Skid School program, which both of my kids have completed. Since then, they have both successfully avoided potentially catastrophic accidents, including the most recent event where my 16 year old son incredibly avoided a spun out car in his lane of travel at 35 MPH, by quickly checking oncoming traffic while simultaneously applying max brake and safely steering around the car and returning to his lane of travel without incident. He was driving my Nissan Titan, which unquestionably would have done substantial damage to both the small car and its occupants had he not had the trained instincts to take the proper action. What you do saves lives and I cannot express how much I and countless other parents appreciate what you do for our young drivers!" Jason N. Pelletier, parent of 2 Skid School Grads, 2018

"Thanks for a great class. Julianne absolutely loved it and I appreciate your attentiveness to her being nervous - the push you gave her was exactly what she needed," Phoebe Lambert, from September 2014 Skid School.

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your wonderful, empowering class. You and Bud did a phenomenal job assisting, my daughter, Sam and helping her to work through the trauma caused by her driving accident. The class did everything I hoped it would. It gave Sam the boost of driving confidence she needed. She drove off to work today with a smile on her face and a spring in her step. Here is her Facebook post about it:

"I faced my fear today and I feel really great thanks to such amazing, supportive people. 'You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.' - Eleanor Roosevelt" Laura Carr, parent - December, 2013

"What a wonderful course for young drivers. I cannot believe they don’t teach this during driver’s education. My daughter is a much more confident driver after taking this course. I have been driving for 30 years and learned a lot myself. We had a blast – what a fun and educational day. I was worried that the course would be too advanced and intimidating for my daughter but the principals was very clearly taught and the driving exercises were well within the ability of a young driver." Dave Therrien - November, 2013

The school was WONDERFUL and we really appreciated the Demos for the parents & family (Erin's boyfriend and our "adopted" son Mel)... we learned alot in the discussions and hope to get our older 24-yr old daughter to fit it into her schedule sometime... We saw many "Moose crossing" signs on the way home thru VT and were having fun remembering the skills course to avoid the fictitious moose!---
Sincerely,Tammy & Jim, Lake Clear NY - December, 2013
