Of the many car driving tips that could be offered, it is not intuitive - speed in curves for better traction. It seems that the acceleration on a curve would cause the vehicle to lose traction and fishtail. It is if you apply too much, but the limited acceleration improves traction when taking a curve.
To understand this, let's first look traction. Then we will see how a vehicle will behave when rounding a curve, then we'll put the two together.
Traction is ...
The traction is required to travel in the direction we desire. When we accelerate away from a stop, the vehicle is moving, because it has the traction with the road. It moves away from the curb intelligently if we accelerate more because greater acceleration provides more traction -. To the point where we lost traction because of the application of too much power to the drive wheels
If we are on the snow and ice, almost all hard acceleration will cause the wheels to slip and the vehicle from sliding so as to make it behave more according to the dynamics and seriousness in the direction in which lead us. If we accelerate lightly, then we are likely to move in a manner and direction we expect.
Think in terms of delivery ...
Now think of travel of the vehicle in terms of a single vector pointing in the direction of your vehicle wants to travel. When driving in a straight line, it is a vector pointing in front of you because your drive wheels push or pull you in that direction. Pretty easy to understand.
Now imagine the vector when you're coasting around a curve. It is pointing to you and to the outside of the curve because you're still going forward momentum will take you off the road. Accelerate hard and you lose traction and slide in the direction of the movement - the hard points of vector outside of the curve as you slide off the road. It is the same as if you had hit ice on a curve -. You lose traction and the vehicle goes where momentum and gravity wants it to go
put together ...
in the light of the example above where we lost traction on a curve, it is easy to understand that more traction will keep us in the direction we want (just because a loss of traction had the opposite effect). We also found that the increase of the acceleration provides better traction. - Up to a point
Therefore, if we accelerate a bit, we benefit from the improved traction and effectively redirect the vector to point more to the desired travel direction and away from the outside of the curve. That's why experienced riders slow down to enter a curve and speed in the curve - it helps them to "stick" to the road with more traction
Try it yourself ...
This is an experiment to prove the point. Driving with a stable foot around a curve traveling often and notice how it feels. So the next time driving around the curve, just simply coast and see how it feels. So next time you drive around the curve using light acceleration. You will notice the difference between the three approaches, and it will convince you that the limited acceleration promotes traction in a curve.
Again, all driving tips, it is not intuitive, but it is true that the acceleration curve offers greater safety margin due to improved traction .
