Fun website snippet of the day

Okay, so you didn't adjust your speed properly, and your car is understeering. What now?

First, there are several things you should NOT do. Don't increase your steering angle, because the tires have already lost grip and increasing the steering will only make it worse. Don't hit the brakes because the front tires are already skidding, and more brake pressure will only make it still worse.

So, what can you do? Frankly, not much. Look ahead, anticipate, and don't panic!


Gee, thanks for the informative article, TireRack. :)

You probably also shouldn't hand the wheel to a 4-year-old. (http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/boy-at-wheel-when-teens-killed/2006/10/17/1160850931568.html)
