automotive driverless carsWhat should you do when rounding a sharp curve?
In this way, what safety factor should you perform before enter a curve or sharp turn?
Centrifugal force results in strong outward pull on your vehicle. So what you need to do before entering a curve is slow down. Lowering your speed when you're already on a curve may cause your car to skid. Look for signs indicating curves and look ahead to identify the sharp turns ahead.
Subsequently, question is, what should you do first if you enter a curve too fast?
Brake firmly if you are not yet in the curve. Brake gently if you have already entered the curve. Accelerate gently about halfway through the curve to help stabilize the vehicle.
Common driving wisdom holds that you get more traction during a turn when you are accelerating. For many drivers, it's standard practice to decelerate before entering a turn, then accelerate once they are half way through (past the apex).
