When you apply the brakes so harshly that you cause thewheels to lock, it might surprise you to know that very little breakingeffect is exerted. When your car starts to skid, the tires do not grip the surface of the road, but SLIDES over it. You would not expect your car to pull up very quickly if you placed a pair of skids under the wheels, yet when you apply the brakes so hard on a slippery road that the wheels start to skid, this is prac- tically what you do. When you are on a slippery street, you will pull up much quicker if you apply the brakes in gentle dzhs instead of using a steady pressure. hen you accelerate suddenly and the car is moving very slowly, you do harm in more ways than one. If the street is wet and slippery the rear wheels will spin for a few seconds before they get a grip on the road, and do more damage to the tires in a few seconds than you will in driving normally for 100 miles. In addition to wear on the tires, you throw an additional strain on the transmission also. NEXT WEEK—HOW TO OVERHAUL YOUR CAR FOR : THE SPRING By the 8. N. L.
