The harmful effects of sudden acceleration and deceleration of cars
(Baonghean.vn) - New drivers often have no driving experience, so sudden acceleration and deceleration are not uncommon. How does this affect your car?
Fuel consumption

Obviously, increasing and decreasing the throttle continuously will affect the car's fuel consumption. The car will use fuel to change the engine rotation speed, thereby helping the car change speed.
When you accelerate, the car begins the process of burning fuel in the engine's combustion chamber. During that process, if you suddenly reduce the throttle, it will cause incomplete combustion, causing more fuel consumption than normal.
Drivetrain affected

The habit of accelerating and decelerating also greatly affects the car's transmission system, especially the axle.
A vehicle is a unified block consisting of many parts that move in translation and rotation within a certain measurement range with allowable tolerances, which forces the vehicle to always ensure smooth operation.
If you increase and decrease the throttle continuously, the forward moving axle system will suddenly change, affecting the entire moving system of the car.
Many parts wear out

When accelerating suddenly, many parts of the car are affected. In particular, the brake pads, the process of accelerating will be accompanied by frequent brake pads causing unnecessary wear and tear.
In addition, the tire is also affected. When suddenly reducing the throttle without the help of the brake, it is inevitable that the tire will slip on the road, leading to wear and tear.
