Critical Analysis
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 9:02 pm
I would like to spark a debate about different techniques advocated within Roadcraft, I would like members to critically analyse those methods to perhaps identify potential flaws that may lead to misinterpretation or other perhaps safety issues. This will hopefully lead to the trainer having more than one option to achieve the same goal, thus helping the student develop!
Cornering Technique- Roadcraft advocates using the system , Info-Position-speed-gear and then drive the curve with a light throttle setting to maintain speed,
It is my opinion that this method does not necessarily promote smoothness with regard to weight transfer of the vehicle, most students will accelerate hard around the corner compromising safety, the method I prefer is to turn in under braking to settle the car down and then release the brake prior to driving around the radius.
Thoughts?
