Default Fatal crash Arizona

Don's suggestion that there is a rigid rule about turn back heights in the UK is a surprise to me (I am an instructor). Select the least bad option at the time. Prepare students for it by (at an earlier stage) saying 'from here I would..'. Later asking 'if the tow fails here, where would you go?'

In most circumstances from 200 foot I would turn back.
