Control

Vehicle ..

You have three systems that make your vehicle go where

you want it to go. They

are

the brakes, the steering and

the accelerator. All three systems have to do their work

the

places where the tires meet the road.

Sometimes, as when you’re driving on snow or ice, it’s

easy to ask more of those control systems than the tires

and road can provide. That means you can lose control

your vehicle.

Braking

Braking action involves

perception time

and

reaction time.

First, you have to decide to push on the brake pedal.

That’s

perception time.

Then you have to bring up your

foot and do it. That’s

reaction time.

Average

reaction time

is about 3/4 of

second. But

that’s only an average. It might be less with one driver

and as long as twomor three seconds or more with

another. Age, physical condition, alertness, coordination

and eyesight all play a part.

do alcohol, drugs and

frustration. But even

3/4

a second, a vehicle

moving at

mph

(100

h/h)

travels

feet

(20

m).

That could be a lot of distance in an emergency,

keeping enough space between your vehicle and others

is important.

And, of course, actual stopping distances

vary

greatly

with the surface of the road (whether it’s pavement or

gravel); the condition of the road (wet, dry, icy); tire

tread; and the condition of your brakes.
