Fundamental Vehicle Control: Vehicle language, weight and traction transfer, the importance of proper eye location, body position, hand management, threshold braking, braking-in-turns, swerving to avoid objects, Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and off-road recoveries. Students will also be taught the difference between over steer and under steer and how they are controlled by skid recovery.
Backing Y & J Turns: Straight line backing and maneuvering around obstacles at high rates of speed in conjunction with Y and/or J Turns.
Driver Down - Passenger Front Seat Driving: Demonstrates the skills to acquire, maintain control and escape an attack while operating the vehicle from the passenger seat.
Technical/Street Line Driving: Fundamental Vehicle Control skills, vehicle dynamics, weight and traction control as well as dealing with adrenaline and stress management. Positively using “line theory” to accurately read and negotiate a road way at elevated speeds while adjusting their “line” for opposing traffic.
