Braking
in
Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to.
With
anti-lock,
you
can steer and
brake
at the same
time.
In
many
emergencies, steering can help you more
than even
the
very best braking.

If
you lose power steering assist because
the
engine
stops or the system
is
not functioning,
you
can
steer but
it will take much
more
effort.

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.
