Advanced Driving Hub

driving around without DSC isn't too clever. Most of us over a certain age have driven for many years without DSC. Is this the new normal, where drivers aren't deemed safe enough to do the driving unaided? I know it's the future, with autonomous mobility pods, but now? D/ESC mandatory on normal pro...

Can I ask why you want it to turn it off? Can we turn synchromesh off? ;) :twisted: PS. Let him enjoy it while he can. There will be no manuals soon. The march of DCT continues. They keep adding more gears. It won't be long before all you can buy are CVT or electric with no gears. Hang on, let me j...

As an aside, been out in a BMW 420i manual. It rev matches. Where's the fun it that? Was it possible to turn off the rev matching? I don't understand the point of choosing a manual and then using auto rev matching. But the manufacturers wouldn't all be fitting it if customers didn't like it. He say...

I often get associates to steer with one hand, to get rid of nervousness and over-steering.

Horse nailed it, she really must have a desire/motivation to keep to the posted limits, otherwise you or anyone else is just wasting their time with her. Other than speeding is her driving at an advanced standard? Did he? Who knows what her motivation is and does it really matter? She has to perfor...

a minimum of 10 hours’ professional tuition in a car with dual controls. Why? Surely the dual controls are only necessary at the very beginning of training (and for many are not required at all). How does 10 hours with dual controls improve safety in any way? Or; who has dual controls? An ADI. So i...

... My current Associate is still finding it impossible to keep within those parameters after 9 sessions, and I have not been able to come up with any strategies to help. I think the problem is a combination of forgetting what the speed limit is and not being aware of her speed. She drives an autom...
