When a vehicle is approaching its limit of adhesion, a driver has two conflicting signals.

The reason for this is that the adhesion the tire makes with the road is getting increasingly smaller – quickly.

The second signal is the vehicle load the driver feels at the back of the seat (their butt), which at the limit of adhesion is high.
