Study Notes

1802 Skill Development - Day/Night Instructor

  • The block of instruction focuses on skill development and evaluation, with attached handouts for notation and comments on skills performed.

Exercises

  • Forward Serpentine
    • Purpose: Develop basic skills of coordinating acceleration, timing of steering movements, and the use of the 9-3 hand position.
    • Key factors: judging fixed objects' relationships to the vehicle, developing skills for other exercises, and building confidence.
  • Evasive Steering Exercise
    • Purpose: Simulate a sudden obstacle, developing awareness of alternating braking and steering, and experiencing vehicle maneuverability and stability.
    • Key factors: personal capabilities and limitations, and vehicle control.
  • Threshold Braking (Maximum Braking)
    • Purpose: Develop skill in achieving and maintaining maximum braking pressure.
    • Key factors: smooth negotiation, constant speed, and 9-3 hand position.
  • Cornering (90-degree Turn with Straight Line Braking)
    • Purpose: Combine braking and steering skills, and recognize personal and vehicle limitations.
    • Key factors: constant speed, 9-3 hand position, and palm position for backing.
  • Controlled Braking
    • Purpose: Develop skill in achieving and maintaining maximum braking pressure while controlling the direction of the vehicle.
    • Key factors: smooth negotiation, constant speed, and 9-3 hand position.
  • Backing Exercises
    • Dutton's Weave
      • Purpose: Develop precise forward and backward control of the vehicle in cramped quarters, at low speed.
      • Key factors: precise control, low speed, and constant speed.
    • T-Driveway - Backing
      • Purpose: Develop backing and roadway positioning skills, and perceptual and judgment skills.
      • Key factors: smooth negotiation, constant speed, and 9-3 hand position.
