Friction between the tires and the road. Without that kind of friction, we'd never be able to start moving, and wouldn't be able to stop!

How does friction cause problems for a driver?
if there was not friction then the car wont be able to move or drive
Why is friction necessary to make a car move?
Because if there is no friction between the wheels and the asphalt the car would simply spin out. Unable to move at all on a friction-less surface. In fact, it's so important racecars have upsidedown wings to push the car into the ground to get better friction. Which when we're talking about car wheels is also called traction.
How friction affects the efficiency of a car?
Everything a car does is to over come friction. When the engine runs, it has to move against all the parts rubbing together inside. When it rolls down the road all the bearings, gears, tire and such cause friction. When it moves through the air that is a type of friction. Anything you do to reduce the fiction levels, the less energy it uses.
The friction which allows a car's tires to grip the roadway?
This type of friction is called traction.
What does reducing mass and friction improve on a co2 car?
by reducing the mass you reduce the friction, and by reducing the friction reduce the fuel needed to move the car, this applies to all cars not only CO2 cars.
How the wheel of car move?
friction

How does friction help the movement of a car?
friction helps the movement of the car by allowing it to move easily and smoothly. -------------- Friction between the tires and the road propels the car forward and steer it. Friction in the brakes helps control the motion.

How does oil make your car move?
oil does not make your car move, it reduces friction in the moving parts in order to keep your car from tearing itself apart

Most of the chemical energy of the gasoline burned in a car is not used to move the car but is changed into?
Heat (from friction)
What form of energy is produced when the wheels of a car move?
Friction and kinetic energy.
When is friction not so useful?
When you drive a car and stop it is because of friction you stopped. If there was no friction your car won't stop and will slide. Friction also helps with waking, if there was no friction with every step you take you would slip. Friction lets your foot stay in one spot while you move the other foot. Ice has no friction so it is hard to walk on and hard to brake on (if driving a car.)
Why is your car hard to start in the winter?
Because there is alot of ice wich enables it to move smoothly.
