The last week, I have been in a car with two younger drivers (17-19yo) and the experience was not pleasant. Now, I know I own a 4WD car, but surly the technique should be the same.
I'm talking about cornering. The two (who are boy racer types) seem to accelerate up to a corner, then turn in and break if need be as they were going round the corner. I'm not talking about your usual drive, I'm talking about people trying to go fast.
I'm my eye's this can cause terrible affects when it comes to handling and speed. I have always been told, to go fast round a corner, you break first (change gear if need be), then accelerate around and out of the corner, giving you fast exit speed.
These guys who were trying to go fast were coasting to the corner, then they would find out they were going to fast, then break halfway around and unable to change gear as there hands were gripping the wheel to hard, giving them a slow exit speed. Is this what instructors are teaching them these days, or is it just that they are clown's?
