Show .j..;... .J. H' t Rough Roads Rather Severe on Brakes It Is well to remember that rough roads render brakes less g efficient. Braking is dependent upon friction between the tire and the road. If the road Is so rough that the rear wheels are pulled away from It on the re- .j. bound of the springs, this frlcv tion is greatly reduced. In the case of the heavy car, this trouble is not so common. Numberless accidents that in- j, volve small cars are traceable to this cause, however. The .j. driver approaches too near to the rear of another car at rath- er high speed. When the need for stopping arises, he finds his .j. brakes inadequate even if they are working to perfection on the smooth highway. .;. . |
