Thread: Winter drift. Skid car-how to cope?

 
In the winter the majority of motorists are facing drift car on a snowy road. Look at a few ways to help avoid such a situation and overcome her appearance.



The first commandment in the drift car is a forget the brake pedal! When braking the driver runs the risk of eventually losing control over the handling of his car. Literate and correct the steering wheel with the gas pedal allow you to "rein in" the car, even after they complete.



You should always remember about the features of the control car with drive to the rear wheels and the machine with leading front wheels. Driving the car is fundamentally different, moreover, is completely the opposite.

The driver of the car with drive to the rear wheels when driving with pressed the gas pedal, with regard to Reset gas. While tripping on the ice road, slowing the engine and feeling care "poop" to eliminate this phenomenon will help add a strip or switch into a higher gear. However, in two cases, turn the steering wheel must be in the direction of the skid. The aim of these procedures is to restore adhesion with road surface.

If the "iron horse"-with front-wheel drive, the driver, and began the drift, you should immediately "drown" the gas pedal. It is advisable to switch to a lower gear. And of course, the steering wheel should rotate in the direction of the skid. These actions, in this case, directed to extrude» car of the resulting skid by leading "Chuck." If you have time and switch to a lower gear and add momentum to the engine before skidding by about 60°, the chance to deal with the handling of the machine is very great. But ...

When aligning a car, with not clear enough and fast running the steering wheel or the gas pedal malfunctioning, you may skid in the opposite direction. You must feel the line after which you want to minimize the amount of influence that led to this situation and be prepared to reverse the drift.

Should firmly grasp is the cause of the skid car only one! This is a mismanagement. most often occurs due to operator errors and much more rarely, due to technical problems.

The main provoking skid, mistakes.

For machines with rear-wheel drive:

• [] strong pressing on the gas pedal, resulting in slipping rear wheels;
  [] a sharp turn Steering;
  [] too much engine braking.

For machines with front-wheel drive:

• [] a sharply gas;
  [] a sharp turn Steering;
  [] engine braking.

The Epithets "sharp» и «strong"in all these errors become less categorical when there poor and faulty suspension on the car (not "keep" shock absorbers, wheel and the convergence is broken). In addition, the probability of skidding increases substantially when there different rubber on the wheels, brake failure and Steering. These factors make the algorithm driving completely unpredictable "induction", constitutes a very great danger. To predict the behavior of the car with such form factors on a snowy road doesn't take any professional racer.

Traffic safety will provide a serviceable car and accurate (in terms of driving style) driver, going by your car on slippery road smoothly, with reasonable speed and having enough time to respond to any situation on the road.
