ADVANCED Driver training Programme. ...
ReplyDeleteWe spent a day last week sharpening our skills at the Advanced level of BMW Driver Training programme, and here’s what we learned:
Course Structure – Lesson begins with an hour-long theory session teaching participants the basics of good driving. The theory class concludes with a demonstration on proper seat adjustment before participants adjourn to the practical exercises.

•Why BMWs Don’t Come with Adjustable Seatbelt Anchors: All BMW vehicles, right up to the 7 Series, do not come with height-adjustable seatbelt anchors. This omission is not an act of stinginess on BMW’s part, but rather the company’s belief that a fixed anchor holds the passenger more securely in a crash than an adjustable one, even if a locking mechanism is in place.
ReplyDelete•Steering Technique – Push-pull vs 9-3: There are primarily two schools of thought with regards to steering technique. Driving schools advocate the push-pull method, whilst others favour the 9-3 hand-over-hand approach. In my personal experience, I alternate between both, but the BMW curriculum firmly favours the latter. This approach, they argue, allows the driver to better judge the amount of lock applied to the steering and also to respond quicker in an emergency.
•Oversteer vs Understeer: Many people assume that understeer is inherent only FWD vehicles and oversteer applies only to RWD vehicles. Truth is that a FWD vehicle is more likely to understeer and RWD more likely to oversteer, the opposite is just as likely to happen. In the simplest terms, understeer happens simply because the front tyres lose grip whilst oversteer happens when grip is lost at the rear.
•Braking Distance: For the science buffs among us, kinetic energy increases proportionally with the square of your velocity. Your vehicle’s stopping distance, meanwhile, is directly proportional to the amount of kinetic energy which your vehicle is currently carrying. In English, it means doubling your speed quadruples your stopping distance in any given vehicle; a speed increase from 50 to 70km/h doubles yours stopping distance.
