Evasive Steering

Purpose: Simulate sudden obstacles and develop awareness of braking, steering, and vehicle maneuverability
Key points: 9-3 hand position, constant speed, smooth steering, no brakes, counter steer into exit lane

Threshold Braking

Purpose: Develop skill in achieving and maintaining maximum braking pressure
Key points: 9-3 hand position, maintain constant speed, cue cone indication

Cornering

Purpose: Develop awareness of personal and vehicle limitations, combine braking and steering skills
Key points: 9-3 hand position, constant speed, smooth steering, palm position for backing

Controlled Braking

Purpose: Develop skill in achieving and maintaining maximum braking pressure while controlling vehicle direction
Key points: 9-3 hand position, maintain constant speed, cue cone indication

Backing

Dutton's Weave

Purpose: Develop precise forward and backward control in cramped quarters, at low speed
