This text explores the concept of inertia as it applies to vehicles on icy roads. When a car approaches a sharp bend, its inertia causes it to continue in a straight line, increasing the risk of missing the curve. Similarly, when abruptly trying to stop on an icy surface, the car's inertia can lead to skidding instead of stopping completely. Understanding these principles of motion is crucial for safe driving in adverse weather conditions.

Critical Thinking #3 p 351 A car traveling on an icy road comes to sharp bend: Because of its INERTIA, the car will tend to continue moving in a STRAIGHT LINE (as demanded by NL1) and is likely to miss the bend. A car on an icy road tries to stop suddenly: Because of its INERTIA, the car will tend to CONTINUE MOVING (as demanded by NL1) and is likely to skid forward and not to come to a stop.
