Steering relies on friction. That is why so many people crash when it is icy out. The ice reduces the friction and therefore the steering capability.

Why do you need friction?

Friction is needed to create traction, which allows us to walk, grip objects, and drive vehicles. It also helps to stop moving objects and convert kinetic energy into thermal energy. Without friction, objects would slide uncontrollably, making movement and handling difficult.

When is friction necessary?

Friction slows something down, so you'll need it when you drive the car (the brakes apply friction to the tires and you stop) and when you hold onto something (your hands apply friction to a credit card, thus enabling you to hold it), among others. You don't need it in some machinery (lubricants and bearings), among others.


Why is fricton necessary to drive a car on a road?

Actually the good effect of friction is: if you drive a car you can make it stop, friction makes it stop. But the bad effect is: friction wears out machines so you can replace it. Hope it helps! :) Also with no friction the tires would just spin and go no place, and steering would be a problem.
