Test Track?

[NeuroCindy]

So I was in a bad car accident last year, I still have a hard time in cars sometimes.

I watched the video of test track, and I was wondering if someone could tell me, at the beginning when you do the first two tests (it looked like the one was a curvy road and one had lightning or something?) do you slam on the brakes and/or does it make it look like you're about to crash?

Thanks!

There is a hard brake during the sections you describe, if I remember correctly.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I think there is a part where the car suddenly brakes and the car swerves. There is a part where it looks like you are going to hit a big truck, head-on. I think that is where the car swerves.

Watch this video. At 3:30, during the "responsiveness test" you can how the car goes around a curve and there is a huge truck coming at you. The car swerves and brakes.

Yes there is a hard break the first one is more jerky then latter there is a place where you almost hit a simi and jerk around it

Yeah, that's correct. The basic idea of the ride is that you are "testing" a new car. So you test how is handles in "crash avoidance" and it does swerve and break to miss the oncoming truck.

Nobody in the car controls the gas or breaks. But it is set to suddenly break and swerve to avoid hitting a big truck. It's not a real truck but it is a truck made of lights, looking like a big "glow stick" truck.

It is a little jerky, the ride itself, and might not be fun if you're easily scared by swerving or fast speeds. The end I believe it reaches around 60 MPH when you reach outside.

It might help to watch the ride on YouTube.

Thanks everyone. I've watched the video, it's just hard to tell what you're actually feeling in the dark. The speed doesn't scare me, I think I might have to play it by ear depending on how I'm feeling that day.
