p style=text-align: justify;span lang=EN-GB style=font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;The transition from a straight line to a circular curve is always abrupt, even if this is not readily noticeable at very large radii or low driving speeds. On the straight section the steering wheel angle is zero, on the arc section the steering wheel angle must have a certain value, as stated above, which is greater the tighter the curve. This in turn would mean that you would have to turn the steering wheel jerkily at the transition between the straight section and the circular curve section. Otherwise you would go off track. Even in the case of large radii without transition curves, the lines of a road appear inelastic and can satisfy neither aesthetically nor driving psychologically down to the last detail. In perspective foreshortening - how the road is seen by the driver - sudden kinks appear despite the large curve radii./span/p
