Why you should increase the radius of turning during turning your vehicle?

Hii,
This post is about the reason why you should turn your vehicle increasing the radius of turning during taking turns which are momentarily circular in nature.It is known to all of us how to take turns but reason behind is being explained here.What happens is that while taking circular turn if you dont increase the radius it will create higher centripetal force.F=mv2/r.Now to counter this force,the frictional force provided by the road to your wheels will increase but it cannot provide the frictional force beyond its limit.After which the vehicle will skid.Another point to be considered is that velocity should also be lower otherwise the centripetal force will increase by above formula which will also increase the frictional force required.Hence you should take slow turns by increasing radius of turning.Here centripetal force and frictional force act opposite to each other.
Thanks..

Sci-fi WH

Hey all,  Consider two points A and B separated at a distance of say 5 cm in a piece of paper. If you were to reach point B from A you need to cover 5cm distance. But what if you wrap the paper in such a way that point A and B intersect. Then it becomes a shortcut right. This is exactly the concept behind worm holes. Due to the fabric nature of space-time this can be assumed that we can enter from past to future and vice versa through these holes known as worm holes created due to rupture in space time fabric due to movement of celestial bodies including planets. Time is a man made straight dimension but in our universe time is not moving forward rather everything is happening at the moment. It is like a 3hrs Bollywood movie being watched in a DVD where the time period for movie or event is fixed and we can go backwards and forward. Similarly events occuring in universe are fixed and we can rewind or move ahead using worm holes.  This concept is hypothetical based on journals ...
