Power … so, speed
You turn the car's fuel into power by pressing the "gas" pedal, far right. The more you press the faster the engine (or motor) turns. If connected to the wheels, they go round faster, so the car moves more quickly.
In rural roads, where there's less activity, the "limit point" can help you adjust your speed. This is the furthest continuous distance you can see. It shortens when you approach a hazard, like a bend. So you should slow, so you can still stop if needed, before the limit point. (You don't know it's safe to keep going if you can't see beyond !) |
As you enter the bend, the limit point will stop coming closer to you and then stay the same distance away. So now you can keep your speed the same. Leaving the bend, the limit point will pull away from you. So now you can speed up. The quicker it moves away, the gentler the bend is becoming.
