Unimog driver safety training courses by the ADAC motoring organisation.

During these Unimog safety training courses, drivers practice the correct responses in hazardous situations. Experienced ADAC instructors give them valuable hints on vehicle control, load securing and personal health protection. To this end, slippery roads or suddenly appearing obstacles are simulated on ADAC training sites, so that braking and steering in critical situations can be practised.
