A surface friction tester, used to measure road slipperiness. Road slipperiness is a condition of low skid resistance due to insufficient road friction. It is a result of snow, ice, water, loose material and the texture of the road surface on the traction produced by the wheels of a vehicle. [1]
A slippery road track in Sweden (halkbana). Slippery road training is the driving on a closed area with a slippery surface as a part of training road users in driving on slippery roads . It is used in some countries as a mandatory prerequisite for a driving test , or by drivers who wish to practice their maneuvering skills in slippery conditions.
A surface can for example be slippery due to it being wet, or due to it being icy. There are several competing theories about why ice is slippery. Road slipperiness is a major area of road safety, but various means have also been developed to measure walkway and deck slipperiness in order to develop health and safety standards. [1]
Jonathan Adam Lecompte of Fayetteville was killed while attempting to stop a Lumberton carjacking, and a video of the incident has gone viral.
When a trailer skids to one side, this is known as a trailer swing or trailer slew.This can occur on a slippery road surface, often where there is a cant.This is not the same as jackknifing and is not as serious, as the trailer will move back into line as the vehicle continues forwards.
It states (edited for brevity), “Vehicle operators facing a steady circular red signal shall stop before entering the intersection control area.” The location of the red light has no bearing ...
Cadence braking or stutter braking is a driving technique that involves pumping the brake pedal and is used to allow a car to both steer and brake on a slippery surface. It is used to effect an emergency stop where traction is limited to reduce the effect of skidding from road wheels locking up under braking. This can be a particular problem ...
Overtaking is prohibited either for all vehicles or for certain kinds of vehicles only (e.g. lorries, motorcycles). In the USA, this is usually phrased as "no passing zone" and indicated by a rectangular, black-on-white sign on the right side of the road that says "DO NOT PASS", and/or by a solid yellow line painted on the roadway marking the left limit of traffic (centerline), and sometimes ...
