Glossary
Gravity, or gravity, is the force acting on objects and organisms in a gravitational field.
Gravity wants to push the car down towards the lowest point of the road. On uphill slopes, it slows down the car's speed, and on downhill gradients, it pushes on. That means longer braking distances when driving downhill. On uphill slopes, they become shorter. If the roadway is tilted sideways, if the grip is poor, the car can slide sideways on the road and, in the worst case, end up in the ditch.
