Defensive and Evasive Driving Course

The daily reality on the street of the main capitals of the world is very critical, South and Central America do not escape this. Express, virtual, political and economic kidnapping grows day by day in countries such as Venezuela, Mexico, Brazil, or Colombia. This coupled with weak judicial systems (judges, prisons, police, prosecutors) makes the reality of the citizen or business executive who travels the streets of any city vulnerable. It is at these times that it is very valuable to have a basic knowledge of how to react to the threat.

In Enkelson security our security experts provide that special, easy and quick training of the basic steps to react to a motorized person who wants to stop the vehicle, or group of vehicles that threaten him to the same end. Our experts in defensive and evasive driving courses receive permanent training and training in the best academies in the world; At the same time, we have a logistics and technological resources that allow us to do a defensive or offensive management or kidnap prevention training in the most didactic and pedagogical way. Our defensive and evasive driving instructors are internationally certified and you as a student will also be certified once one of our courses is successfully completed.

The elusive driving course is designed to improve the vehicle control skills of licensed drivers at any level of experience. The student learns about the dynamics of the vehicle and the importance of understanding the “language of the vehicle.” This is achieved through realistic exercises such as the straight emergency line (Threshold) of braking, braking-in-turns, serpentine, slip pad, effect-to avoid, and off-road recoveries.

The defensive and evasive driving student will also learn about the use of fixing the view in which he wants the vehicle to go. Vehicle control skills will apply to the technical driving required by the student to read and negotiate a form of high speed roads with chase. The driver will be taught how to use the vehicle as a means of escape or as a weapon for survival.

Instructors in defensive and evasive driving strive to ensure that each student will learn the use of emergency backup and turns “Y” and “J”, precision intervention technique (PIT), barricade breach (RAM), driver down (driving passenger side) and how to recognize an attack. Students learn what a car is capable of and, most importantly, its own limits. We will emphasize the importance of being mentally prepared in order to be able to react. The training met through realistic situational exercises where the student comes in different types of attacks and faces the challenge of reacting.

It is suitable for licensed drivers of any experience level who wish to improve their vehicle control and survival skills.

The program is a comprehensive 2-day intensive course.

  • Day 1 focuses on vehicle inspection, surveillance detection, and fundamental dynamics.

  • Day 2 covers advanced maneuvers, including high-speed J-turns, anti-ambush techniques, and attack simulations.

You will master tactical maneuvers such as:

  • J-turns and Y-turns: For rapid 180-degree escapes.

  • RAM (Barricade Breach): How to safely push through a vehicular blockade.

  • PIT (Precision Intervention Technique): Using the vehicle to immobilize an attacker.

  • Threshold Braking & Off-road Recovery: Maintaining control during high-stress avoidance.

Yes. Our instructors are internationally certified, and every student who successfully completes the course will receive an official Enkelson Certification in Defensive and Evasive Driving, recognized for professional security standards

No. Training is conducted using our specialized fleet. You will learn the “language of the vehicle” and understand its mechanical limits, including how to use it as a “weapon for survival” or a means of escape.

Absolutely. A core component of the training is recognizing pre-attack indicators and learning to react to motorized threats or groups attempting to intercept your vehicle. We focus heavily on being mentally prepared to break the “freeze” response during a crisis.

Yes. Since Enkelson specializes in integral protection, we provide specific insights into the dynamics of armored vehicles, which handle differently due to their weight and ballistic modifications.

Yes. One of our specialized modules teaches you how to maintain control of the vehicle and navigate to safety from the passenger side should the primary driver become incapacitated.
