stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer

but it will take much more effort.

Steering Tips

Driving on Curves

It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed.

A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned

on the news happen on curves. Here’s why:

Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to

the same laws of physics when driving on curves. The

traction of the tires against the road surface makes it

possible for the vehicle to change its path when you turn

the front wheels. If there’s no traction, inertia will keep

the vehicle going in the same direction. If you’ve ever

tried to steer a vehicle on wet ice, you’ll understand this.

The traction you can get in a curve depends on the

condition of your tires and the road surface, the angle at

which the curve is banked, and your speed. While you’re

in a curve, speed is the one factor you can control.
