Why Weight Distribution Matters
Why Weight Distribution Matters 📊 Key Insights from the Graph · Balanced vehicles (≈50% front weight) : Fatalities hover around 50 per million , reflecting stable handling. · Moderately front-heavy (55–60%) : Fatalities climb to 75–100 per million , showing increased instability. · Critical threshold (63%) : Fatalities spike to 150 per million , about 3× higher than balanced vehicles. · Severe imbalance (65–70%) : Fatalities plateau around 160–170 per million , confirming that once the rear is too light, recovery from skids becomes nearly impossible. 🚗 Why This Happens · Physics of imbalance : A heavy front pulls the car forward, while the lighter rear struggles to maintain grip. · ...
