Feeling

What does touch mean? We explain what is meant by word touch, as well as how it relates to driving and affects your driving ability.

Sensation is the body's sensory system that senses impulses in the form of pressure, temperature and pain, among other things. It is how you perceive the environment around you. In driving, touch is important as you can often feel if the road conditions suddenly change, or if the car does not behave as it should. But other sensory systems such as the sense of smell and sight are also critical when driving.
