Steering Tips
Driving
on
Curves
It’s importan; 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:
Suppose you’re steering through a sharp curve. Then
you suddenly accelerate. Both control systems
--
steering and acceleration -- have to do their work where
the tires meet the road. Adding the sudden acceleration
can demand too much of those places. You can lose
control.
What should you
do
if this ever happens? Ease up
on
the
accelerator pedal, steer th:e vehicle the way
you
want-it
to
go,
and slow down.
Speed limit signs near curves warn that you should
adjust your speed. Of course, the posted speeds are
based
on
good weather and road conditions. Under less
favorable conditions you’ll want to go slower.
If you need to reduce your speed as you approach
a
curve, do it before you enter the curve, while your front
wheels are straight ahead.
Try to adjust your speed
so
you can “drive” through the
curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait to
accelerate until you are out .of the curve, and then
accelerate gently into the straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective
than braking. For example, you come over
a
hill and
find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls
out
from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front
of
you. You can
avoid these problems by braking
--
if you can stop in
time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room. That’s
the time for evasive action
--
steering around the
problem.
