Word of Caution

RCZ · 07-05-2010, 06:20 PM

If the car oversteers when youre not trying to make it oversteer, you should either be in an emergency maneuver or under extraordinary road conditions (ice, mud, etc). Sliding should never really be a surprise if you have any idea about what you're doing...

Experience isn't just about knowing what to do when it does happen, its more importantly about how to keep it from happening in the first place.

People need to start thinking "what if" a little bit more..."what if I lose control here? where does my car end up?" is it a risk worth taking? Probably not.

Exactly. You should know exactly how the car is going to react to what you're doing right now and what you are about to do at the next corner or wherever. Nothing should come as a surprise!

+1 RCZ.

Is the deer in the road a surprise?

For the deer or the driver? Probably both.
