From simple situational awareness to evasive maneuvers, this book gives one the tools needed to avoid becoming the victims of road rage and other modern hazards of the road.
In the last 15 years, new crimes have littered the headlines and nightly
news with terms like drive-by shooting, carkjacking, and "road rage". In
this new book, combat veteran, self-defense national SCCA auto racing
champion Curt Rich offers an arsenal of defensive combat survival and
race-car driving techniques applicable to everyday motorists who are
increasingly finding themselves in life-threatening situations.
What
should the driver do if he or she is being followed, harassed, shot at,
carjacked, or kidnapped? How can the motorist maximize braking, comer
quickly, and use his or her car as a weapon? Also explained are evasive
driving techniques like the bootlegger hairpin, J-turns, and running an
assailant off the road. Fifty black-and-white illustrations detail the
tactics described.
