Friction can be harmful or helpful when driving, no matter what time of year. For instance it is helpful when breaking and it is harmful between bearing surfaces.
The loss of friction between the tyres and the road during winter can be disastrous.

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.)
What are the 2kinds of friction?
Static Friction and Kinetic Friction. Static Friction is what friction that slows you down. While Kinetic friction is sliding friction.
What are two ways that friction is harmful while ridinding a bicycle?
There is friction between the rubber tires and the road or other riding surface.There resistance to the rider moving through the air.The bicycle's chain, pedals, gears, etc all develop frictional forces.
Why is friction sometimes harmful?
Friction has a nasty habit of wearing away surfaces. It can seize up engines if there is no lupricant. It can wear away your clothing and scrape away skin if you fall off your bike. It can cause a burn if when you hands slip while trying to hold a rope. Though friction can cause much trouble we also need it.
What two factors influence friction force?
Dry friction and fluid friction. Dry friction resists motion of two solid surfaces in contact, while fluid friction describes the friction between layers of liquid that are moving relative to each other.
Why does your car slow down while driving and giving it gas to the floor?
Because of friction
What useful friction?
You need friction to slow down or turn while skiing and ice skating. Auto braking during driving. Walking or the movement of the motor vehicle depends on friction or there will not be movement.
What conditions would affect friction and road safety?
if it didn't have friction while driving the whole driving scene would be a chaos... ah--woo. Trinity College East de bomb squad.....2 D
What are two ways friction can be be harmful while riding a bicycle?
In the bearings and in the tires. All it does there is turn into heat - and we can't use that for going forward.
If the brakes do not work what should you do while driving?
try and create friction by riding against walls or motor way sides
Should you have your ETS light on while driving in winter?
Normally the (Electronic Traction Control) ETS light is on when the ETS is turned off. Make sure the ETS is on and not off when driving at all times winter or summer.
Why do car brakes get hot after driving in the city for a while?
its bcoz of the friction between the wheel drums and brake liners - Rajkumar Magdum.
What friction is used while driving?
1) Friction of the tires on the road 2) Friction in the clutch 3) Friction in the brakes 4) Friction of driver against controls and seat Friction of air also plays a part in resisting motion; this can be used to improve road holding when we deflect it into a down force, hence the spoilers on F1 cars, for example
TIPS FOR WINTERIZING YOUR VEHICLE?
Winter driving conditions can be hazardous due to factors such as snow and ice on the road. While it’s important that you are prepared for winter driving, it is also important that your car is up for the challenge…Read More
