The KBH Emergency Lane Change is a lateral flick at 70 MPH and it
avoids the situation of veering all over the road. The car just flicks
over one lane and the steering inputs are controlled with the paired
action. But the average driver is frozen in place behind the wheel at
60 MPH to 70 MPH. The Emergency Lane Change gives the average driver a
structured and practiced response. Also the KBH Emergency Lane Change
is easier to learn than the Making an Unexpected Curve maneuver.

Now the KBH Making an Unexpected Curve maneuver can be practiced at 35
MPH to 40 MPH where a 30' wide road meets another 30' wide road at 90
degrees. The idea is to experience heavy cornering loads that pull
down the speed of the vehicle as the vehicle makes the curve. But the
maneuver should also be practiced on actual curve shape roads or
tracks and at speeds of 50 MPH or less.

The KBH Emergency Braking maneuver involves getting the front wheels
straight before braking and then pushing the brake pedal with maximum
force at 70 MPH. The steering will get heavy and thus practice
involves floating the steering wheel while braking. Now it is possible
to stop in 220 feet from 70 MPH with the average car.
