Powe,r Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine
stops orthe 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.
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 the 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.
