Defensive driving classes?

Are there any defensive driving classes in the lower mainland? I need some help when it comes to driving a mid engined car in the rain, i spun out for the 2nd time in a year in the same situation today. Come to a corner, downshift into 2nd going about 20km-30km, give it a little too much gas, back end brakes loose, i panic and slam on the breaks. I ended up doing a 180 and was right next to the sidewalk (didn't hit it luckily), if it had been on purpose it would have been cool lol :D The same exact thing happened shortly after i bought it, luckily both times there were no cars around.

I would highly recommend the BMW courses also.   Pre-requisite for all their courses is the car control course.   You do not have to have a BMW to take these courses.  You bring your own car.

Also, if you work for a company that requires you to drive a company car, they may put you on a course anyways.   I took the defensive driving course when I worked for Telus.
