Controls- Steering

Good steering technique is vital for smooth driving, as it prevents any lateral weight transfers that would lead to loss of traction when turning through corners.
When steering round a corner, it is the best to be progressive, smooth and controlled. Applying and taking off steering lock should be done in a fluid movement, without taking either hand off the wheel where possible. Try not to let the steering wheel slide through your fingers when letting off steering lock, and then adjust your hand position accordingly for the next corner or straight.

Controls -Braking

Braking is not a matter of stamping on the breaking pedal and come to a halt.
Good braking technique is a compromise between the two following factors:
-If you have locked your front wheels, you lose steering control
-The point of maximum deceleration is just before the point of wheel lock
Most modern civilian cars today are equipped with a system called ABS (shorten for Anti-lock braking system) Upon detecting a locked wheel, the system automatically activates and then slows down the car by rapidly applying and releasing the brakes in pulses. The system allows you to both slow down and steer at the same time.
