We're back for part two of our review of the Skip Barber Racing School two-day High Performance Driving School, and this time we cover the threshold braking exercises and emergency lane changes.

These two exercises are perhaps the most relevant to everyday street driving, as almost everyone is likely to need to make a sudden maneuver or emergency stop at some point in their life. Learning how to do it in a safe environment, the right way, from talented and helpful instructors, could make the difference between pulling it off cleanly or spending time in the garage, the hospital, or worse.

Read on for a detailed look at each exercise, the skills learned and required, and the methods used to teach drivers how to get the most out of their car and themselves.

    how do those skills translate from an M3 to a Tahoe while texting and freshening up my makeup?

    If you're keeping your visual discipline, meaning eyes up and looking where you want to go, instead of where you don't, the Tahoe should handle just fine. Your makeup, on the other hand, will probably look pretty terrible.
