• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Roadcraft is the handbook for police and other emergency services drivers undertaking driver training. In driver training, Roadcraft is combined with practical instruction. This edition is designed so that it can be used for self-study either before or during a course, and for ready reference afterwards. The aim of Roadcraft is to improve your driving ability. Your safety and that of other road users depends on your awareness of what's happening around you and your ability to control the position and speed of your vehicle relative to everything else on the road. A collision or even a near miss is often the result of a lapse in driving skill. Roadcraft aims to help you become a better driver by increasing your awareness of all the factors that affect your driving - your own capabilities, the characteristics of your vehicle, and the road and traffic conditions. The Roadcraft system of car control is a methodical approach to hazards which increases your safety by giving you more time to react in complex situations. What vehicles does Roadcraft cover? You can apply the principles of Roadcraft to any vehicle you drive, whether a modern car or larger or older vehicles. The basic design and the supplementary features built into a vehicle all affect its capabilities. As vehicle design and safety technology become more and more sophisticated, it would be impossible in a book of this size to cover the range of variations in, for example, wheel drive, transmission, adaptive suspension and active safety features. You should always get to know your vehicle's characteristics and adapt your driving to them, and have a good grasp of the manufacturer's guidance for every vehicle that you drive.
