Advanced defensive driving for experienced drivers: realistic scenario training

[MichaelOM]

I'm a driving instructor who primarily teaches new drivers, but I'm developing a new advanced course focused on defensive driving techniques for experienced motorists. I want to move beyond the basics of the two-second rule and cover realistic scenarios like handling sudden tire blowouts at highway speeds, evasive maneuvers to avoid collisions with wildlife or debris, and safely navigating complex multi-lane interchanges during heavy rain. For other instructors or safety professionals, what are the most critical but often overlooked skills you emphasize? How do you effectively simulate high-stress situations in a controlled environment, and what are the best resources for current data on common collision causes to tailor the curriculum? I'm also looking for advice on vehicle dynamics exercises.
