Skid-car puts students to the test

SPRINGBORO, Ohio (WDTN) - A high-tech tool screeched into Springboro High School Wednesday equipped for teaching teens how to drive defensively.

It's called the Skid-car and as students quickly learned, it's not so easy to control.

This teen defensive driving exercise is sponsored by Key Bank.

It's centered around the Mid-Ohio School's skid-car which is a vehicle attached to stabilizing equipment that can also raise and lower either the front or rear wheels to make the car hard to control.

While driver's ed is focused more on the rules of the road, this course is aimed at teaching skills that could make a bad situation better.
