On a banked road, as long as the vehicle's tyres roll without slipping, the contact patches are momentarily at rest on the road and the friction available is STATIC — this is what Eqs. (1.3)–(1.4)'s limits are built from (). If the vehicle goes slower than , it begins to slide DOWN the incline; faster than , it slides UP and outward. From that instant the relevant friction is KINETIC: direction opposite to the slide, magnitude with . Because the kinetic value is smaller than the static limit whose exceedance started the slide, the net unbal …
