Is it possible to make a right turn a 60mph?

Question

i was in a car accedent and my best friend was driving and we were going 60 miles an hour and she didnt see the red light and some one is telling my that it is impossible to turn ur car that fast no one was hurt but one person and i will be ok but is it possible to do that ?

Answer 1

well you don't say how wide the turn is ..... on a motorway then the turns on those are wide enough to take at 70 easily whereas a sharp 90 degree will probably not be possible unless you have alot of grip ! e.g. formula 1 levels.

Answer 2

If it was a sharp right hand turn, you would most likely roll over at that speed.

Answer 3

it depends on the turn, how much road you have and the drivers ability, im quite the tear away around where i live, i only drive a 1.8 at the moment but many of the local subaru turbo drivers have given up racing me as i just abliterate them on corners even though there cars have nearly twice the grip as mine, if you are able to corner smoothly using the whole road so you are using the least amount of steering as possible to get round the corner then it is very easy to get round a corner at brake neck speeds, the car doesn flip over it may understeer but if your smooth enough then the wheel closest the corner will start to spin violantly and smoke way befor you understeer. if you are talking about a 3 lane cross road in america then yes you can corner at alot more then 60 if you use all three lanes and get the apex right

Answer 4

Yes it is possible!   Knowing if someone wont be hurt going at that speed, that's a whole different subject, which entails allot of different variables

Answer 5

On a wide turn it is possible but at the same time it is still to fast....
