Guide to master the art of driving

261087048a67dbf42fa68154c84171a7 One of the characteristics of a good driver is that he or she is able to use the potential of his vehicle to the maximum in a safe manner. Whatever the type of vehicle, the foundation of being able to use all of the performance available is to use the friction between the tires and the road surface as best as possible. With a tire at each corner, the contact patch of each is usually about the size of a book, and all forces generated during the course of driving must be transmitted through these patches.

The first thing to consider is tire pressure. For a given tire and load, the ideal tire pressure is the one that does not distort the structure of the tire and keeps the entire tread surface in contact with the road surface. Keeping load the same, too much pressure will lift off the edges of the tread from the road surface since the tire will bulge out, and too low a pressure will lift up the center of the tread from the road surface. This effect will be more on a wider tire than on a narrow tire, both with the same contact patch area.

Why Bikes and Rickshaws travel in the fast lane

rickshaw There’s a saying that goes ‘if you want to know about a society just look at its traffic’. This really is a simple “litmus test” for a given society. Not a single country, making it to the list of developed nations, has disorganized traffic.

To say that the traffic in our country is disorganized will be a gross understatement. The whole system is a mess.
