I would concentrate on anything that will result in a major fault (eg foot down on U turn) - you can get 'away' with a lot more minors than majors. Good luck!

Ah, I wonder if your rear end steps out whilst pushing the trolley round supermarket corners? I spend most of my time in Tesco's with terrible oversteer!!

Look before you lean! It does come with practice.

Before long you'll find yourself doing lifesavers before you change direction while walking along the pavement. smile

ETA: must read whole thread. Don't want to start copying certain other people - I can't afford the insurance hike!
