This 1972 road instruction film looks at things to keep in mind while turning a car. It includes remembering the tracking difference, continually evaluating your position, and making steering adjustments. The film demonstrates this with a driver making several turns and lane switches. These are shown in both third and first person. Note: this film appears distorted because it was meant to be used with a driving simulator such as a Drivotrainer or Doron.
