Driving Lessons. Passage of sharp turns

Overcoming critical situations on the road is impossible without studying the techniques of active safety. In the arsenal of outstanding racers there are more than 200 experienced professional drivers - up to 50. Among them is a simple, readily available to any driver and is very difficult to study which takes a long time and painstaking work. Some of them are unique to the final result, because allow to overcome the most unbelievable extreme conditions. Athletes to joke that at any turn you can enter at whatever speed and exit is not always possible. This joke has some truth, since most phase entry and determines the further safe cornering. If the rate of entry exceeds the critical bound, then reduce it to an arc of rotation is extremely difficult due to the fact that it is impossible to apply the most effective ways of breaking - intermittent and stepwise. They can lead to loss of stability and drivability, while a seamless way to not significantly affect the extra reduction in speed. However, not only high speed is dangerous. Many accidents occur when cornering at speeds below the critical value, when it seemed to have everything possible to keep the car on the road. Moreover, if the car in the middle of the arc of rotation, or even at the exit on the left shoulder or the oncoming lane and tipped over, you often find the cause of the input. One of them - early entry into the turn, as a reaction to danger. When the driver sees looming on his turn and the vehicle speed is high, it tends to go early to move in an arc and pulls the car to the inner edge of the turn. This is a blunder! Firstly, the movement for a smaller radius will create a higher centrifugal force and, hence, keep the car in turn will be much harder. Secondly, a smooth start result in the need to perform "complete rotation" on the arc, which is almost always accompanied by loss of stability and control (drift car). And thirdly, to construct the optimal trajectory in any rotation, we must remember that the dynamics of braking the car higher than the acceleration. This feature makes the racers carry a steeper entry into a turn and a smooth transition so as not to lose the power of the engine at the end of the rotation. Loss of power in the process of turning - this loss of security. The higher the thrust, the greater the opportunity to oppose the centrifugal force on the arc of rotation. To create a safer environment in the rotation, you need to later start moving in an arc, long straight, despite the increased fear and a strong desire to start turning. Such a technique is called "deep entrance. However, to take advantage of this technique, the need to load the front wheels in front of the rotation. Safety maneuver will depend largely on the late end of braking and continuity of load and start it (the entrance) turn. We must remember that "deep entrance can only be used in conjunction with the advanced load, or instead of the planned security may be an acute critical situation. Imagine that you overcome your own fear, make the car go straight, although the rotation has already begun. Then, turning the steering wheel, you're hoping for a quick response vehicle, and instead of the wheel slip and lose control. The situation is very alarming. It can be completed instantaneous response inhibition, and thus avoid the accident is virtually impossible. So, before you master the element of "deep-in 'and have to learn to load the front wheels and late braking. Then this method is the highest skill could greatly improve your safety and will significantly increase the speed cornering. Remember that the second part of the rotation is always more dangerous than the first, due to loss of power. Strive as late as possible to shift the car on the inner path of rotation, it will help you at the exit to keep the car on the road.
