QUOTE(Alan @ Mar 22 2013, 02:14 PM) I think if i'm going to crash (eg unable to stop in time), i'll try to crash with more car body surface as possible to absorb the impact. The small overlap crash seems to focus on the weakest point of the car frame, less structure surface, will high force, the result is high pressure and high damage. instinctively, most drivers would try to steer away from an impact, not steer into it. (that is where ESC comes in) |

QUOTE(Alan @ Mar 22 2013, 04:12 PM) emm.... right, not that easy to use logic to overcome the instinct... braking hard is the last resort (reduce as much speed as possible before impact)anyway, personally i not quite like to steer into other lane to avoid accident as it might cause motorcyclist or other car in trouble, and prone to lost control. I might just keep the steering straight and brake hard... but its usually better to avoid collision in the first place. just make sure you know incoming and beside you no other vehicles (you sure know, if you're an alert driver before the situation happens) |
