Quote:The "Days of Thunder" drive right through it philosophy does not appear to be a good option.I've been thinking about this situation all night after I watched Chris's video. I want to be able to follow a rule and teach this rule to my students. That situation was a near disaster!
Here is my take and I'd like to know others thoughts.
#1 Check mirrors and brake before the dust field if you can. After stopping, drive off track into an area that is visible to you (away from the dust)
OR
If you cannot slow in time or if there is a car behind you, AVOID the dust at all cost. If you have to drive off track (wheel straight) then do it.
Chris - thanks for posting and I will bring it up with Jack that it should be something we teach our students.
