Friends,
I had escaped very narrowly last week, when I was travelling in my Ritz on a village side road. A tractor was coming opposite to me and some how I have sensed bit early that the tractor is moving little abnormally to right and left, so I kept my self little away from it to my extreme of the left side road. The tractor guys seems to be lost control on steering as it failed and there was a turn towards my car and same time I turned my car more left side and the tractor crossed me and then immediately it went to its left and collided with a culvert and collapsed. However the driver sensed it quickly and jumped out of it and was not injured at all and complete tractor engine crashed.
I stopped my car in few meters away from the spot and noticed driver is safe, so continued my journey as I was in a hurry, but was really wondering, what happens if something like this happens in a good speed. what could be the alternative to this, is there any safety equipment to save from this situation as we talk about many safety equipment on the forum like ABS, Airbags and others.
In case of a brake failure, you have some chance of controlling it with bringing down the vehicle to lower gears and control its speed provided you are not in a thick traffic and on a clear road, but in case of a steering failure, what could be done as the response time will be very less.
