MIRA Experience
The MIRA Experience is a programme designed to help your drivers develop greater car control. Consequently, you will enjoy:
 |
improved driving safety |
|
greater driving confidence in all conditions |
|
peace of mind |
|
increased comfort and pleasure from driving |
|
lower levels of driving risk, fatigue and stress |
Although much of the MIRA Experience takes place on slippery surfaces, it's much more sophisticated than "skid control" training that takes place on skidpans or in skid-car simulators. Peak Performance also adopt a very different approach.
Traditionally, skid control training is all about learning to solve problems - deliberately inducing the loss of control so that the driver can learn to recover from them. That approach has a negative focus - trying to avoid what you don't want.
The MIRA Experience has a positive orientation - the focus is on creating and maintaining what you want, rather than solving problems. It's about creating a state of complete control that encompasses:
|
understanding the car's behaviour and the limitations of its performance |
|
being fully aware of the driving environment |
|
being sensitive to feedback and able to respond to it appropriately |
|
being able to manoeuvre the car with precision |
The MIRA Experience has three parts:
