Adjusting my driving style for RWD cars?

[rick_172]

I may be making my first foray in the myserious world of RWD ownership shortly with a BMW 323.

I've always driven FWD motors, at the moment I have a Clio 172. Is it necessary to make any amendments to my driving style to favour RWD?

Also, whats the procedure for if things go wrong? lol Obviously in the clio I'm careful never to lift off in a corner, even if I'm going in a little hot, can you 'get away with it' with RWD?

Cheers in advance

Yep, not the best time of year for it! Hopefully the snow won't be too bad....

Is that to say that I should pay extra attention to getting the car 'set' before turning into a corner? To be honest I can take some pretty big liberties with the Clio so where as I do try to be smooth at all times I know I will have to be extra careful when jumping into a bigger RWD which isn't going to leap into the corners quite so enthusiastically.

I think I might find a course locally that can give me some refresher training on my driving. The last time I had any 'advanced' driving training was a good year ago and that was only a 1 day course. I dare say some old habits have creeped back in by now.

Keep the advice coming.
