Brake & Avoid
At Driving Educators in North York, Downtown Toronto and Etobicoke - we feel it is our responsibility to make sure that our students get the highest possible level of instruction throughout their time spent on the road for emergency and avoidant situations. Here’s what we cover in this course:
Gravel Shoulder
In the event that the car slides into a gravel shoulder, the student is required to understand how to recover and maintain control of the vehicle.
Avoiding Head-On Contact
In this move, the students are taught how to avoid cars moving from the other lane into their lane. This technique is completely identical to the one described before. The learner will be able to prevent and avoid a contact with the head as a result of this.
The Avoidance of Rear Crash
Students are instructed on how to react appropriately if they are going to be struck by a vehicle coming from behind. Additionally, they are encouraged to be mindful of their blind spots and to steer with their hands rather than their feet.
Attempts to Avoid Swerving
When a student is taught how to react appropriately to an item that has just fallen into their path at a speed of forty kilometers per hour! There is a strong emphasis put on accurate steering and eyes ahead, with drivers always gazing into their space on the road and the direction in which they want to travel.
Emergency Stop with Threshold Braking and Anti-lock Braking System
The goal of the method is to ensure that the student comes to a complete stop as quickly as possible by using the most effective braking technique without the brakes being locked. When you avoid locking the brakes, you will not only prevent the vehicle from skidding, but you will also be able to bring it to a stop more quickly and effectively.
When performing this maneuver, students continue to use the threshold braking method. However, they are now approaching the object pylons at a quicker speed (60 kilometers per hour), and they will not be able to stop in time. As a result, in order to avoid colliding with the object, they must choose an escape route that is available at the moment (either left or right) and swerve.
Every one of our sessions is taught by a trained specialist. Even though the majority of the lesson will be taught in a parking lot with pylons serving as barriers in the path of drivers, the recovery of the gravel shoulder will only be done via the road when it is safe to do so.
We emphasize that every student should give serious consideration to the possibility of investing more time and money to acquire these processes since it has the potential to assist them in becoming a more careful driver.
