because they slide... the snow reduces the friction between the road and the wheels so if the car stopped it could lose control.

Does it snow in Washington Georgia?

Yes, occasionally it snows in Atlanta. The snow is usually not heavy and does not last long.It doesn't usually snow there, but once in 1976 it snowed for non-stop for a whole day; there was even snow in the pool at the hotel. This is rare, although it does happen.On average, Atlanta gets around 2 inches of snow annually.


Did it snow everyday in Ohio for the year?

It is unlikely for it to snow every day in Ohio throughout the year. Ohio typically experiences a mix of snowfall, rain, and sunshine across different seasons. Snowfall frequency and accumulation can vary based on weather patterns, but constant snowfall every day for an entire year would be highly unusual.


Will carpooling stop global warming?

Carpooling can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing the number of cars on the road, but it is just one of many solutions needed to address global warming. Combining carpooling with other sustainable transportation options, such as public transit, biking, and walking, can have a greater impact on reducing emissions and combating climate change.


What kind of cars stop pollution?

Electric cars are one of the best options for reducing pollution because they produce zero emissions. Hybrid cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are also alternatives that help lower pollution levels compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. Carpooling, using public transportation, or cycling are other sustainable transportation options to reduce pollution.


How does a layer of snow stop young plants dying in frost?

the layer of snow act like a shelter for plants. snow is a good insulator. the frost freezes the moisture in a plant cell, which make them dye, so the layer of snow can which provide them moisture, like an insulator. this is also the same as igloo.

Why do cars skid on rainy days?

As there is no friction on the road,thus the road will not have friction that stop the car from moving.


Why is friction important for road safety?

Friction is the force that makes it possible to stop a car - a friction between wheels and road surface is a stopping force there. Also, friction is necessary for maneuvering - if the wheels slipped, you wouldn't be able to make a turn.


In Britain what shape is the road sign for stop?

British stop signs are octagonal to make them easily identifiable even when they are obscured by dirt or snow.


Do vehicles with anti lock brakes take longer to stop?

Depends upon conditions. Studies show that Most cars with ABS stop faster on wet and even dry pavement. However ABS cars take longer to stop on ice, snow, and gravel. Personally I really like them in rain, and CANNOT STAND THEM on snow/gravel.

What is the area called where racing cars go in for a pit stop?

* Pit Road * Pit Lane * Pit Stall


Do cars need friction to stop?

Yes, cars need friction between the tires and the road to stop. When the brakes are applied, the brake pads create friction against the brake rotors, which slows down the wheels and ultimately brings the car to a stop. Without friction, the tires would not be able to grip the road surface and the car would not be able to stop effectively.


Why do cars slide when braking?

Cars slide when braking because the friction between the tires and the road is not enough to stop the car's momentum. This lack of friction causes the tires to lose traction and slide instead of gripping the road surface.


How race cars differ from normal cars?

Race cars are usually given strengthened roll cages that protect drivers much better than most of the cars on the road. They also have high temperature resistance brakes to allow the car to stop from high speeds most road cars will never see in their life. Sticky tires to allow all the power to be transmitted to the road and; Lastly they most often come with a large engine that gives out a lot of horsepower and torque to a light heavy duty transmission. most cars on the road drive around with v4s and v6s. Rarely do you see a v8 except in trucks or large suvs. But race cars use v8s, v10s, and even v12s to get their lightweight frames to the speed they need to be to stay in the race.


Who is at fault if you pull out and are hit by a speeding driver that then hits 2 parked cars?

You are if you were pulling out of a driveway or alleyway. If you were at a side road it would depend on who had the right of way. If you had to stop but he didn't, you're at fault. If he had to stop but you didn't or if he ran a stop, then its his fault. The fact that he then hit two other cars is immaterial.
