downshifting Posted by JohnA [Email] (#426) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JohnA) on Tue, 19 Feb 2008 08:51:29 In Reply to: Re: not always possible, cfishgo, Mon, 18 Feb 2008 09:39:29 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Oh absolutely. Even with automatics. Hard to teach getting down to 1st in an automatic but I do it all the time in the trainer car. Saves on brakes.
Had a student jab the brakes on an icy turn. 360 deg instantly. Had to replace a rim/tire and a hub. Didn't take much on the glare ice. Disappointed with the municipality on that particular (busy) corner, even if it was early in the AM.
Could have been worse. Much, much worse.
