IV. Driving Around Curves (Driving Style)

A >>sporty<< driving style and driving at higher speeds also cause greater wear when driving around curves.

In practice, this means doubling the speed in a curve leads to an increased abrasion by a factor of 16. This is the >>"extra charge"<< for driving faster.

Example: Driving around a curve with a radius of 150 m.

Speed (km/h)

Lateral Acceleration (m/s² ) ⁽¹⁾

Abrasion

1 = 0.13 x g

2.5 = 0.33 x g

6, 5

100

4 = 0.53 x g

⁽¹⁾	g = gravitational acceleration: 9.81 m/s² .
