This lesson describes how speed affects the forces that act on a vehicle while driving and how controlling speed works to prevent skidding, collisions, and rollovers.
After completion, drivers will be able to:
- Describe the impact of the forces acting on their vehicle as they drive
- Describe how reaction time, speed, and weight affect their vehicle’s stopping distance
- List basic techniques for safe braking, evasive steering, preventing skids, and negotiating curves
