When it comes to blasting down your favorite canyon road or perhaps the highway, things like awareness, discipline and a bit of skill will go a long way towards keeping you safe.
There are also a few basic notions that, if followed, will ultimately increase your chances of staying out of trouble even if you’re engaging in some spirited driving.
These, according to Car Throttle, are related to driving position, hand position, line of sight, driving style and of course timing, because not every location is suitable for you to channel your inner racing driver.
Even though you’re probably familiar with most of the tips you’ll be getting in this video, the fact that the reviewer brings up “coasting” is quite interesting. Whether you’re attacking a corner on the track or a bend on a public road that allows for more aggressive driving, lifting your foot of the throttle could make the car feel unbalanced. However, if you’re either accelerating or braking, that will help keep the car under load, which is how you want it.
You can watch the video right after the jump and, who knows – maybe you’ll discover something that you’ve been doing wrong all this time and didn’t know it.
