Unit 5

Attend emergencies

Element 3

Drives quickly where appropriate

PC (e)
Remains physically prepared to compensate for own errors

notes:

Adopts a posture and holds the steering wheel so that he or she will be ready for countering excessive tyre slip.

Can explain the physical consequences for the driver if he or she is slow to respond to excessive tyre slip or to skids.

Note: This criterion recognises that competent drivers will occasionally make errors. Competent drivers know this. Consequently, when they sense their tyres are near to the limit of adhesion, they prepare to react to their errors in case they misjudge the amount of tyre grip they are keeping in reserve.
