Driver Care – Know Your Stopping Distance

The tailgating (or preventing) vehicle will drive as close as possible to another leading vehicle to prevent the side vehicle from cutting in. Like all forms, this practice of tailgating is illegal and attempts to force the side vehicle to slow down and get into the line of traffic behind the tailgating vehicle.

1. Practice is the sure way to gain a better understanding of the size of your vehicle.
2. One of the big problems new drivers face is spatial awareness.
3. Practice parking.
4. One of the situations that require a reasonable degree of special awareness is parking.
5. Practice different skills.

In short – drifting causes wear and tear damages to your car. Your rear tires will not last very long from the friction. You have to replace them with a new set every 2-3 drifting sessions depending on how long each session is. The other most common damage from drifting is exterior damages.

Generally speaking, the purpose of drifting is for the driver to make the car spin sideways, intentionally causing the car to oversteer, in order to achieve a drift state.

You won’t to be able to just drift in your neighborhood, or on any streets for that matter as it’s completely illegal. But, there are many race tracks that allow you to legally race, drift, and compete against others.

This video shows just how raw and exciting the night-time drifting scene is in Japan today. While highly illegal, these kids sure know how to control a car…

In Japan, you can observe drifting both on the track and off. But when it’s off, it very much stays around the twisty curves of mountainous and countryside tarmac or quiet industrial roads. Late at night when there is very little traffic and far away from civilisation people lockdown these areas to hone their skills.

Japan was the birthplace of drifting. Tsuchiya began practicing his drifting skills on the mountain roads of Japan, and quickly gained a reputation amongst the racing crowd. In 1987, several popular car magazines and tuning garages agreed to produce a video of Tsuchiya’s drifting skills.

Pastrana is most definitely the faster of the two, having bested Ken Block on multiple occasions, in different rally settings. The Gymkhana 2020 video brings out Pastrana’s insane precision driving, which would be practically an impossible feat for nearly anyone else, except Ken Block.

Starting this weekend, Block will return to Subaru for the Olympus Rally, 12 years on from his last competitive outing for the brand. The Head Hoonigan In Charge will drive a Vermont SportsCar-built WRX STI alongside long-time co-driver Alex Gelsomino and run by his own Hoonigan Racing Division, with factory support.

In professional racing, he is a two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans class winner and the 2001 All Japan GT Championship runner-up. He is also known for touge driving….
