Inertia plays a powerful role in how your vehicle moves and reacts, especially when driving conditions change suddenly. Whether you're braking sharply, making a quick turn, or navigating a slippery road, inertia directly impacts your car's stability and control.
But what exactly is inertia in driving? How does it affect your ability to steer or stop safely?
On this page, you'll learn how understanding inertia can improve your handling, reduce your risk of losing control, and help you stay safer behind the wheel. Knowing how your car responds to motion is a critical part of safe driving.
Inertia can be defined as an object that will continue in a state of rest or path of motion until some force causes its speed or direction to change.
It is similar to momentum in that the two main factors are weight (or mass) and speed (or velocity).
Inertia vs Momentum:
The main difference is that inertia is the resistance offered by a body to the motion whereas momentum is the tendency of a body to continue moving.
