Car Control Clinic
Experience the limits BEFORE you need them on the road
by Dan Tackett
You're driving down the freeway when, without warning, a washing machine falls out of the overloaded pickup truck in front of you. Will your BMW swerve quickly and safely enough to avoid it? You're on a city street when a bicycle veers in front of you. Will your SUV stop in time? While driving to Julian, water running on a curve sends your car into a sudden slide. Do you really know HOW to "steer into the skid?"
Do you know how to adjust your mirrors to minimize blind spots?
Have you ever engaged your antilock brakes while turning?
If you regularly drive an SUV or minivan, do you know its behavior at the limit?
Do you trust any teenage drivers in your household with your BMW?
Do you want to get a taste of performance driving outside of a track environment?
Our Chapter is conducting a Car Control Clinic, to help you answer these questions in a controlled environment at Qualcomm Stadium. What you learn about how your vehicle handles in simulated driving emergencies could make the difference between a screech and a crunch in your future. This Clinic is intended for drivers of all ages who want to safely sample the behavior of their vehicle before it really counts. Bring the vehicle you drive every day, whether it's a BMW or minivan. We may limit participation of certain vehicles with a high center-of-gravity-inquire by email if you're not sure. BMW CCA members or their immediate family members are welcome.
