precision driving

Controlled vehicle maneuvering

Precision driving is the skilled maneuvering of vehicles with exact control—tight turns, controlled skids, high-speed reversals, and threading through narrow gaps.

Stunt performers and getaway drivers in films rely on precision driving, as do law enforcement and military personnel.

The term also applies to competitive driving disciplines that emphasize accuracy over speed: She trained in precision driving before her first film role.
