Suggested length - One and a half hours.
Introduction:
The emergency stop isn’t just a case of slamming on the brakes. The car needs to stop under control, in a straight line, without skidding. This means the amount of brake pressure will depend on road conditions and the road surface itself. In addition, we must learn what to do should the car skid and how to feel what type of skid the car is in.
In this lesson you will learn:
- The emergency stop
- What is a skid
- The various types of skid
- How to control a skid
- How to avoid a skid
- Progressive braking
- Stopping distances
