Slow start, turn to park or stop for every driver everyday situations. But what happens in difficult situations, how their car behaves when braking hard? What happens when the steering wheel is pulled to pieces and as a result the tail suddenly breaks out? Questions, questions you want answered nine women on a Sunday - in the form of theory and practice in a women's intensive training at the center of the ADAC Driving Safety.
Elisabeth, Karin, Melanie, Stefanie, Gesa, Vroni, Samantha, Miriam and Irina are ordinary women in ordinary occupations with normal cars. Set per day, the various routes on the way to work or in their spare time back transport their children to school, go shopping and sometimes into the evening chic restaurant in the neighboring village.
You drive VW, Audi, Peugeot, Volvo, or Cadillac, and have one thing in common: They all got out of her family a voucher to the driver safety training given especially for women. All coupons were under the Christmas tree and are now being exchanged for the course in Laatzen near Hannover on enclosed grounds of the ADAC - despite the bad weather.
Bettina Tiemann, instructor of the ADAC team for motorcycles and cars, welcomes all women to the theoretical part with a little imagination and question and answer session. The expectations of the ladies are almost identical: you want to be taught more routine driving a car, tips and tricks do reduce anxiety, and dominate, especially their car in a dangerous situation better.
After a short and crisp theoretical part in which the participants Bettina Tiemann explained the daily routine, it goes out on the training ground to the first station - of course with their own cars. Shell game is announced. On a straight line pylons are built that need to drive around.
Once past the right turn, left turn over once, then right again and so on. "The girls will show me the first time whether they know the dimensions of their vehicles and how reluctant they are brave or reckless on the road traveling. Because if they wag around the pylons, I would fall over without touching a hat or maybe even see.
The cost per hat Macciatto a latte, "smiles the experienced instructor and runs off at once. She has her first latte Macciatto already in the bag. However, the instructor will get on that cold and rainy Sunday no caffeine shock. All four pylons flying through the area. "It's worth today," she grins.
On radio calls on all participants to come back to the container in which it has sought protection because it has become even colder and raining continuously. "Good foundation for our practices," continues Bettina Tiemann. Before the next exercise is run, the correct settings are found in the car seat.
Irina and Samantha are sitting rather loose and casual in their vehicles, others a little anxious and the rest pretty normal. But what is normal? The instructor explains what it takes to get the car in dangerous situations to fully under control and sorry to say that all fit a wrong setting you have selected.
But this is completely normal ... seats under professional supervision is set up and let's go to the next exercise: emergency braking. Here is the safe and effective brakes and conveys not only Melanie and Karin rise immediately at the beginning of the exercise in full of the iron. After a few exercises each with different speeds, it goes off again into the container to exchange experiences, and quickly determine all the women that two miles per hour can save less in speed in an emergency life.
Even with proper braking technique is essential for the braking distance speed. This is also again the statement by the instructor: "Impressive is the fact that the pure stopping distance at 70 km / h is twice as long as 50 km / h. Grip on the road are about 24 feet instead of twelve. This means: if the speed, the braking distance increases by the square.
The doubling of the velocity is therefore four times the stopping distance. And the most important factor here is not even included. The reaction time "Also, the ladies must then immediately put the theory into practice. When obstacles appear suddenly at the next emergency braking water fountains in front of the cars that need to drive around.
For each subsequent passage of the participants have been some success, not just by Stefanie sent the gap to drive through the various water fountains. In case of emergency would mean that saving lives! How to intercept the car when overtaking the host vehicle rear will all learn the use of the hydraulic drive.
reflects on a special sliding surface, the ice, there passes over this plate a blow to the rear axle. The car inevitably breaks out. Now it is, counter-steer properly and keep the car on track. How modern technology can be useful here to learn all those who have ESP in their vehicle, which is mainly the case for newer vehicles.
"These electronic stability aid detects no response time to the unstable driving condition and stabilized by selective braking of individual wheels, the vehicle", there will also be back the matching of Bettina Tiemann. It also happens in the next exercise on the circular path, where some women start to the limits of centrifugal force compliance.
At the end of a nine-hour safe-driving training was clear to all involved: The expectations were fully met. Stefanie has seen the brakes of her car right first time, Elizabeth had to get respect from hard braking and Vroni Gesa and would repeat the training with safety at regular intervals.
And all had a whole day long, despite constant rain and cold much fun and are now able to identify risks better to avoid, especially to cope with but also. Sun ripened, they will all understand it much better that experts have called repeatedly for every car driver a "forced participation" in a driver safety training.
