Remember: Anti-lock doesn’t change the time
you
need
to get your foot up
to
the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too close
to
the vehicle in
front
of
you, you won’t have time to apply your brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead
to
stop, even though
you
have
anti-lock brakes.
Using Anti-Lock
Don’t pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal
down and let anti-lock work for you. You may feel
the brakes vibrate, or you
may
notice some noise, but
this
is
normal.
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.
Steering
Power Steering
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,
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.
