What type of cornering maintains a consistent turning radius?

Constant radius
Increasing radius
Decreasing radius
Variable radius

The correct answer is: Constant radius

The type of cornering that maintains a consistent turning radius is known as constant radius cornering. This technique is characterized by the vehicle turning in a circular path where the distance from the center of the turn to the vehicle remains unchanged throughout the maneuver. This helps in ensuring stability and control, as the driver can predict how the vehicle will respond while navigating the turn. In constant radius cornering, the speed can be adjusted to maintain the desired path while avoiding skid or loss of traction, which is crucial for law enforcement driving situations where control is paramount. Understanding this concept is vital for ensuring effective and safe cornering techniques during the CLEET Driver Test and generally while operating a police vehicle.
