It's a hostile world out there! What do you do if you're being followed or harassed in your car? This dynamic guide teaches you evasive driving techniques such as the legendary bootlegger hairpin, J-turns, and how to run your assailant off the road. Filled with combat survival and race car driving techniques that are crucial for keeping your options open in life-threatening situations.
Curt Rich's Drive to Survive takes a somewhat different approach to safe driving than other driving books or manuals you might have read. For most of us, driving is the single most life-threatening experience that we encounter - and we encounter this danger on a daily basis. Surviving that experience should at least be casually on our minds!
Curt is a combat veteran. Being one of the same (same war, in fact), it is easy for me to appreciate how Curt applies the survival instincts developed in combat to the driving experience.
But you need not go through combat to develop survival instincts nor do you have to be a combat veteran to appreciate the book. What is situational awareness? It quickly becomes instinctive in combat but it can be learned by anyone. Using Col. Jeff Cooper's color codes, Curt reviews the different levels of situational awareness and explains how we can apply them to our own driving experience. Situational awareness is critical to safe, defensive driving.
You are either Unconsciously incompetent, Consciously incompetent, Consciously competent or Unconsciously competent - not only with your driving but in anything you do! Hmmm? At what level am I? I hadn't thought about that in a while! How can I graduate to a higher level of competence?
Drive to Survive is a fast, quick, lively read that will forever change how you think about your driving. If you want to Survive your Drive, buy this book. Then buy a few more to give to drivers you really care about.
