Jakarta –
Pajero Sport and Fortuner drivers are often seen speeding on toll roads. In fact, exceeding the maximum speed limit on toll roads is very dangerous. Especially if the vehicle cannot be stable on the toll road.
According to driving safety practitioner and Director of Training Safety Defensive Consultant Indonesia (SDCI) SonySusmana, the SUV uses a ladder frame chassis. This means that the car body is placed on the chassis and then connected.
“You could say that the shape is taller or taller. So the symptoms of unsteadiness and bouncing that occur are greater. When used for speeding on flat roads, it will definitely be stable under vehicles with monoqoue chassis types,” said Sony to detikOto, Monday (8/1/2024 ).
Sony said that every time a vehicle moves, the suspension will work to stabilize the forces that occur due to external and internal conditions. However, there is a tolerance limit.
“That is comfort. This means that when driven to an extreme level, the vehicle is difficult to control,” said Sony.
Internal factors, continued Sony, one of which is the tall body shape. According to Sony, this body character catches the wind, especially at high speeds.
“Even though it has been designed by experts, there is still a tolerance limit,” he said.
“The risk that often occurs is skidding or even tipping over easily. Due to wind from the front or side. How do you do it? The high body is caught by the wind and then the body is slightly lifted which makes the tires lose grip on the road,” he explained.
Sony said that these cars can indeed be driven to high speeds. The proof is that there are also those who use these cars for racing. You can speed, but not on the toll road. If you want to speed on a closed circuit that doesn’t endanger other drivers.
“If you’re talking about speeding, you can. After all, the power from the engine is big and there are SUV cars racing on the circuit. But even that has been modified. Meanwhile, these standard vehicles are designed only for highways which prioritize comfort,” explained Sony.
