Study Notes
Driver Training - Day/Night
Objectives
- Demonstrate proper braking and steering techniques through various exercises
Exercises
Serpentine
- Purpose: Develop basic skills of coordinating acceleration, steering, and judging vehicle relationships with fixed objects
- Key points: 9-3 hand position, constant speed, smooth steering, no brakes
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
- Key points: 9-3 hand position, palm position during backing, constant speed, no brakes
T-Driveway
- Purpose: Develop backing and roadway positioning skills, and perceptual and judgment skills
- Key points: 9-3 hand position, palm method only in backing, constant speed, no brakes
