Advanced driver training – The Saab Club of Canada
May 6, 2011
$300We have a fair share of Canadians visiting SU and it is our pleasure to relay the club’s announcement of the May driving school gathering at the Shannonville Motorsport Park:
Twice a year at Shannonville Motorsports Park in Shannonville, Ontario, The Saab Club of Canada offers an Enhanced Driving School to all members of the public that offers the opportunity to learn and improve driving skills in a controlled environment.
James Bergeron reported from the event back in 2009.
After taking the Saab driving school, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to improve their car control skills.
Fill out this form then print, sign it, scan and e-mail (or fax) it to the club.
Finally: Show up with your car (doesn’t have to be a Saab), have fun, takes lots of pictures, and report back to us.
On a personal note, I pulled a 180° in my old 9000 back in February — Quite involuntarily, I might add (snow&ice packed tight in the rear wheel well). Although I managed to stabilize the old boy (starting at 90 kph), a wee bit of practice ahead of time would have been lovely. If someone are arranging advanced driving courses here in Sweden, please let me know.
Why not fly to Canada eh..?
I’m sure your ‘fellow Nordics‘ would love to have you come over..!
I did Stage 1 of an advanced driver traing course thru Canadian Direct Insurance a few years back. Was VERY informative and showed what my car is capable of but more importantly how to avoid that accident in the first place. I would heartily recommended it to anyone. Stage 2 is calling out to me now. 🙂
Ahh, I wish they would do this in Calgary.
Or Edmonton…or anywhere in western Canada for that matter. 🙂
Programs like this are so valuable for safe driving. Saab Club of North America members should note that SCNA members may participate in Saab Club of Canada events as members, and vice versa.
