If 5km/hr is all the difference between staying on the road and crashing then there are some serious issues with the driver training.

Spot on
This was quite possibly the one of the better and more realistic suggestions that make it though transit (or land transport or whatever they call themselves nowadays)

Cowboyz: listen to p.dath. When figuring out the g-forces its not all that fancy, there is a curved pipe stuck to the windscreen with an air bubble it (much like a spirit level) and there is degree markings on a backboard on the pipe. The driver goes around the corner at a constant speed and arc at 3 different speeds and from there the recommended/safe speed is found.
5kph is going to make sweet F-all difference but its like a polite reminder there is a corner there.
For mine is the suffering, and the power, and the glory, two wheels for ever and ever, amen.
