I did and it was informative.

Thanks for the suggestion.

It has been a long time since I’ve studied centrifugal force, and momentum. The tire dynamics in play was interesting.

When I used to drive like a crazy guy, I could count on dissipating some of the force by allowing for sliding sideways.

The problem is, if you’re on a narrow road, you’re not going to want to slide much. You’ll be off the road in the tulies.

About ten years ago, drifting became a big rage. I thought it was interesting, but you would go through a set of tires in about five minutes. Okay, a clear exaggeration, but it would cost you a lot of money in tires and suspension repairs.

Driving well below the adhesion limit on public roads is highly recommended. Especially in rain and on snow/ice.
