SynopsisThe only book of its kind, "Advanced Highway Driving Tactics for Safety and Optimization" delivers an unprecedented discussion - a rigorous technical exploration of a neglected yet crucial driver's education topic: freeway driving. While most driver's education classes and defensive driving books offer a broad overview of safe automobile operation in the highway context, these discussions have traditionally taken a back seat to that of local and secondary traffic environments. Highway driving is however a critical necessity to international commerce, local economic vitality, and every day life in developed societies, calling to need a specialized manual describing invaluable practices to ensure safety and promote a host of optimizations. Driving on the freeway is a potentially lethal task, nevertheless carrying with it certain expenditure costs of time, fuel, environmental, and law enforcement resources. By employing sound optimization techniques, drivers can minimize costs to improve safety, arrive at destinations more quickly, improve fuel-efficiency, decrease legal risks, minimize environmental impact, and increase the overall social utility of the developed world's most prominent means of medium-range transportation: the controlled-access divided highway. "Advanced Highway Driving Tactics for Safety and Optimization" develops a precise tactical model for spatial maneuvering on the highway and reviews topics such as spatial awareness technique, lane optimization, speed choice and control, entrance merging procedures, dangerous situation identification and avoidance, defensive and predictive intervehicular maneuvers, and vehicle control - all supported by thorough explanatory theory and research. Professional driving ability on the highway starts and ends with proper tactics, which this book examines in rich detail.
