The pocket field reference for the civilian who wants the driving skills the licensing exam never tested. Threshold braking, evasive maneuvers, vision discipline, vehicle as cover.
By Patch (Jeffrey Adams) - Green Beret - Validated - Special Forces 18D
>What's inside:
- Mindset Before Technique - the car is a 4,000-lb projectile; smooth is fast
- Vehicle Fundamentals - seat, mirrors, tire pressure, brake feel, grip envelope
- Threshold Braking - the single most important emergency skill civilians lack
- Evasive Maneuvers - lane-change emergency, J-turn, reverse evade, brake-and-evade
- Vision + Scan - 12-second visual lead, surveillance detection, pre-incident wrongness
- Vehicle as Cover + Weapon - engine block is the only real cover
- Five Driving Drills (closed course or empty lot)
- Daily Carry Kit for the Vehicle - tourniquet, IFAK, window punch, light, kit essentials
>Drawn from twenty-one years of Special Forces tactical-driving doctrine, SCCA and FIA civilian-motorsport standards, Bondurant School and Skip Barber Racing School curricula, FLETC TEVOC (Tactical Emergency Vehicle Operations Course), and NHTSA federal driver-training research.
The license is the starting line. This guide is the next mile.
