The average driver should never need to think about tactical driving, but there is the rare occasion that it will become a necessity. More so, those in law enforcement may find tactical driving a life saving skill, or an ability which will help catch the ‘bad guy’. This tutorial covers some of the basics of skills and maneuvers which tend to be considered tactical driving, but may even be useful during an extreme situation such as avoiding an accident.

While reading this article may give you the knowledge about driving a car in certain situations, actually performing the skills will prove to be very different than just reading about them. The maneuvers should be practiced and perfected before attempting to do them in a situation which requires flawless execution under stressed conditions. Some of the things mentioned in the tutorial may be illegal on public streets and should never be practiced or performed there unless it is absolutely necessary.
