If you like...Red Herring wrote:I would have thought keeping the balance on a vehicle going into a corner would be pretty high on a police drivers list of priorities and would be fairly surprised if their training had a tendency to not encourage this. What would be the possible advantage to not "hinting" that encourages police instructors not to train it?
I'm, talking about a tiny variation between Police trained drivers and the rest - a more positive initial steering at a higher rate than most that momentarily reduces the stability of the vehicle they're driving. In most circumstances this lowering of stability improves turn-in but in marginal conditions (and to be fair, I've yet to spend much time with Police officers in such conditions to know whether this style of steering carries through) increase the risk of loc.
Why don't Police driving schools teach hinting - I can think of a couple of reasons: 1. NIH - and given that their system works admirably, why should they change it? and 2. Given the pressure on driving schools in terms of teaching time, there are far more important things to get down pat in the limited time they have.
