Learn to drive with a professional driving school
When driving never take your eyes off the road Exception when glancing at your review mirror, when checking your speed (quick glance) is what is needed when looking at review mirror or checking your speed.
Golden Rule: ‘when driving fast (in a straight line) turn the wheel slow.‘When driving slow (turning a corner) turn the wheel fast’.
Think about this and Make sense of it. Turning /moving the steering wheel fast when driving in a straight line can make the car lose control (don’t try it please)
When turning a corner you need to turn the steering wheel faster to catch up when going around the corner.
Golden Rule: ‘Break before the corner, power around the corner learn to drive 
Drivers experience the inability to steer a car in a corner due to a number of reasons. This inability to steer is called understeer. Read on to find out how to avoid understeer and control understeer if needed
Understeer is a term used when a car loses its ability to steer while going around a corner. The front wheels of the car lose traction and steering ability forcing the car to go wide on a bend even while trying to apply the correct steering action. To an observer it will look like the driver has not turned the steering wheel enough for taking the corner. This happens as the front wheels are carrying speed at which steering inputs are limited because the wheels are busy putting the car’s power down onto the road and trying to make it go forwards faster. Understeer is more common on front wheel drive cars as the front wheels have to do the steering and put the driving power on the road.
These are two types of factors which make a car understeer
Active factors involved (the way the car is being driven)
- Cornering speed
- Throttle
- Braking
- Steering inputs
- Weight transfer
learn to drive with a Passive factors involved
(the natural properties of the car)
- Weight distribution
- Drive layout
- Suspension & chassis setup
- Tyre type, wear and pressures
Passive factors also play a big role in determining the limit at which a car will understeer. A lot of research and development goes into developing cars so that these factors can are minimized. Understeer is likely to happen when accelerating too hard in a bend or while braking into a corner or while driving into a corner much too fast or on slippery road conditions such as rain, snow or oil.
Even professional drivers do this all break before the corner so it would mean to break into the straight line and just before the corner you break ,then you Power around the corner that make the car more stable around the corner making you go steady.
If you drive too fast and don’t break before the corner you will instinctively break into the corner and you could lose the back end and spin out.
