I lauded that awesome video of your skillful maneuver with a thanks. I'm so blind I'd have been wearing that rock as a third eye. |

Driver training for auto is taught that right foot does all, brake and gas. Left foot does nothing. Keep em separate and no confusion |

This 100%..
Ever since I started to dive hard into auto-x, I think I'm more aware of my surroundings than before. One of the first things that was verbally beat into me was looking ahead, far ahead but scan the road too. Been able to get out of hairy situations because of that. |

If I hadn't have been paying attention to what could go wrong or had been a little slower in my reaction or if the car hadn't have swerved so well I think I would have hit him almost R.I.P. my hyper.blue |

So was I, though in my case it was pretty obvious as I learned to drive in an MT car...
But I was taught stupid things in driver ed as well, like that I should see the back of my car in my side mirrors. |

OK fair call, from reading your links it may be good for racing but who does that every day on the street? I'm talking general driving and what to teach your wife and kids.

I'm surprised the side curtain airbags didn't pop on that Jeep.
I've seen videos of cars popping their side curtains in a slalom with all four wheels planted. |

Just the other day a lady in a Jeep pulled out right in front of me on a 60MPH road (there was no-one BEHIND me, so she could have just opted for that spot....) So I let off the throttle and rolled up on her waiting for her to accelerate. WHAT does she do? Gingerly accelerate to 40 MPH and STAYS THERE (60 MPH road). So she looks back in her mirror and sees me close to her bumper and WHAT does she do NOW??? She Brake Checks me as if I am the ****wad! I seriously wanted to run her off the road and pull her out of her car and explain how SHE was being the hazard to navigation NOT ME. I resisted. |

He just did not want to accept the fact that, that is a really bad idea. He just did not believe that once he gets tired or lazy, he will rest his foot on the pedal and have brake lights on all the time. Quote:

I had a split second doing 120km/h to do a similar quick steering correction to miss the flying debris and it was really a piece of cake with the BRZ. I was quite impressed with the stability and put a smile on my face. |
