Show Notes
This episode explores the science behind police driving, revealing how officers manage extreme cognitive load during urban pursuits. We break down the Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC), the twelve-second rule, and how experienced drivers use predictive modeling to anticipate hazards before they appear. Learn why training in the US differs from the UK and Australia, and how techniques like the Swedish Method help navigate blind intersections safely.
