Study Notes
1802 Forward Serpentine Exercise
- Develops skills in coordinating acceleration, timing of steering movements, and using the 9-3 hand position
- Judges relationship of fixed objects to the vehicle
- Does not simulate a real-world situation, but builds confidence and familiarizes students with vehicle handling
Evasive Steering Exercise
- Simulates confronting a sudden obstacle, such as a pedestrian or stopped vehicle
- Develops awareness of alternating braking and steering, and experience with vehicle maneuverability and stability
- Increases awareness of personal capabilities and limitations
Maximum Braking Exercise
- Develops skill in achieving and maintaining maximum braking pressure
- Involves smooth negotiation of the course, maintaining the 9-3 hand position, and controlling speed
90 Degree Turn with Straight Line Braking Exercise
- Combines braking and steering skills, making drivers aware of personal and vehicle limitations
- Involves smooth negotiation of the course, maintaining the 9-3 hand position, and controlling speed
Controlled Braking Exercise
- Develops skill in achieving and maintaining maximum braking pressure while controlling vehicle direction
- Involves smooth negotiation of the course, maintaining the 9-3 hand position, and controlling speed
T-Driyeway Exercise
- Develops backing and roadway positioning skills, and perceptual and judgment skills in limited space
- Involves smooth negotiation of the course, maintaining the 9-3 hand position, and controlling speed
Dutton's Weave Exercise
- Develops precise forward and backward control of the vehicle in cramped quarters at low speed
- Develops skill in backing a vehicle using mirrors to judge rear and side clearance
- Involves smooth negotiation of the course, alternating between forward and backward movements, and maintaining the 9-3 hand position
