Oh another tip, If you're going to crash, remember to "Stomp, Stay and Steer." Foot on break, stay on break, and steer into safety or best possible place you could wind up. I learned that from Motor Week back when I was younger on PBS. Even though I don't know how reliable this tip is (I've never been in an accident) they seemed to swear by it. Any objections?
I, Object on one instance.
Lets see, your Driving a little fast, or if your coming up to a turn in a FWD car. You do not see it and react late, trying to make the turn. You find yourself, going to collide into the curb from the side.
What do you do?
A.) Stomp On the Brakes
B.) Give it Gas
C.) Do nothing
D.) Turn into the Curb
The answer would be, (B). If your coming to the turn too quick and are going to collide, slamming on the brakes would most likely cause you to roll your vehicle once you make contact with the curb. Giving the Vehicle Gas when you make contact, will cause the car to pull straight ahead, keeping the downforce strong and keeping the car down. Now if your come up to the curb and the car has no speed and it stops, obviously neither brakes or gas would have helped.
As far as RWD and AWD cars, I could not answer if the same answer applies, but it most definitely applies to FWD cars.
