Centripetal force - Answer Force created by a vehicle that is turning and the force that is opposing inertia. Center seeking force that pulls the vehicle to the inside of the turn Centrifugal force - Answer A fleeing force that pulls the vehicle to the outside of a turn. vehicle control - Answer The operation of a vehicle within the physical limitations of the vehicle and the driver inertia - Answer force that resist a change in direction or a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged traction - Answer The grip of a tire on a road. yaw/yawing - Answer Vehicle Movement around a center of gravity. IE- As speed increases the rear wheels slide around. What are the reasons to train an officer in driving? - Answer Develop skill for officer safety Liability is shifted from Department to officer The Driving Process is ______ % mental and ____% Physical (I.A.D.E) - Answer 90 and 10 Who initiates a pursuit? - Answer The officer
What are the 3 things that can happen to end a pursuit? - Answer The vehicle Stops you terminate the pursuit a crash Mental Ruts are not bad - Answer True vehicle dynamics - Answer Physical forces acting upon a moving vehicle, and how they affect vehicle operation positive weight transfer - Answer Caused by breaking. More weight is put on the front wheels, and more force is needed to turn them negative weight shift - Answer Caused by acceleration. More weight is put on the rear wheels, less force needed to turn them. neutral weight shift - Answer Weight is distributed normally on tires defensive driving - Answer Driving with an awareness of your surroundings and awareness of others What is the best steering type technique? - Answer Shuffle steering What is the worst steering technique for high speed driving - Answer Cross Over Officer fatigue causes what? - Answer Longer decision/reaction time
Braking (stop) Turning (Turn) Static friction (rolling friction) - Answer the maximum friction between the tires and the road surface Maximum Static friction is greater than dynamic friction - Answer true Dynamic friction is - Answer sliding friction which braking method is best for long pursuit? - Answer Heat and Cool Stab and jab braking method means? - Answer locking up breaks like an emergency method what are the 3 parts of the driving system? - Answer the driver the environment the vehicle Apex (Literal Apex) - Answer the geometric midpoint of the inside edge of a turn Early Apex - Answer The point where the vehicle might come close to the roadway edge. Also this is prior to the literal apex. Late Apex - Answer past the literal apex and where a vehicle may come closest to the inside edge of the roadway.
offensive driving - Answer taking control of the road and forcing vehicles around you to adapt What are the 2 crash procedures? - Answer Preserve life and reduce injury Officer fatigue causes? - Answer longer decision, perception and reaction time Officer fatigue lowers visual efficiency - Answer True Seat Belts reduce - Answer chance of injury and death involved in a collision. Where do u position your vehicle in a pursuit? - Answer to left of violator vehicle Fusion - Answer ability to integrate into one image Counter steering - Answer steering into the direction of a skid under steer - Answer front tires has less traction than rear tires and the vehicle plows when you turn the wheels. over steer - Answer rear tires have less traction and the vehicle tries to swap ends The steering technique people use the most - Answer hand over steering cross over steering - Answer a 45 degree turn is the maximum when using this technique but its great for reaction
