What may happen to a vehicle that is traveling too fast in a curve?

When a vehicle is traveling too fast in a curve, the dynamics of motion can lead to a loss of control. As the vehicle attempts to navigate the curve, inertia causes it to continue moving straight, which can result in veering outward from the intended path of travel. This outward movement is often referred to as "oversteering," and is the result of insufficient centrifugal force to counteract the vehicle's forward momentum.

In a curved situation, the required traction to maintain a safe path through the curve is compromised if speed exceeds the curve's safe limit. Additionally, the tires may not be able to grip the road adequately, especially if the surface is wet or slippery, thereby increasing the risk of skidding or spinning out. Thus, maintaining an appropriate speed when approaching curves is crucial for safety, and exceeding that speed can have dangerous consequences for vehicle control and driver safety.
