Electronic Stability Program (ESP), designed to prevent the car from skidding and skidding, can only assist the driver at low speeds. This was told socialbites.ca by Alexei Kolontay, head of the MasterClass Center for driver training in emergency situations. He stressed that exchange rate stability alone cannot protect the car from an accident.
“The ESP system kicks in when the driver has already made a mistake and is trying to mitigate the consequences a bit. He won’t be able to save her from an accident. On dry pavement, the system somehow works up to 60-70 km / h. If the vehicle speed is high enough, the vehicle will skid even though the ESP system is working. Until the grip of the wheels with the road is revealed, the system will not be able to help in any way, ”said Kolontai.
The auto trainer emphasized that it is necessary to actively operate the steering wheel to prevent skidding and that the ESP cannot turn the steering wheel. The expert explained that the stability control system prevents the wheels from locking by slowing down and distributes the braking force depending on which wheels have the best grip.
“If the vehicle hits an unstable surface, from asphalt to fresh snow, for example, the vehicle’s electronic systems can affect the driver. When braking on such a road, a layer of snow will slide under the wheel on the asphalt. The electronics will assume that the wheel has stopped and will try to reduce the braking force by increasing the braking distance.”
Former driving instructor said about the danger of metal bracelets and other accessories for passengers in the event of an accident.
