TRACTION CONTROL

**TRACTION CONTROL** is a power-up in Does Not Commute. Sold by Crazy Bob's, this addition at the bottom of the car increases driver control, and can make the car drive in circles without drifting or skidding.

### When to use?

On the ninth car of The City, you unlock the second out of three power-ups called **TRACTION CONTROL**, which increases your traction, or in other words, preventing you from sliding all over the place like you're on ice. The downside is that your speed is reduced, slightly (you do get certain speed boosts, as well, but also start more smoothly, i.e. a little faster.).

#### **When to use **TRACTION CONTROL**:**

* The car you are driving is FAST and drifts easily, so TRACTION would add a lot of control to it.
* If you want an easier time to slip into tight spaces or make very sharp turns.
* If you want to have an easier time dodging oncoming traffic, especially with FAST vehicles.
* If you don't to be out of control and crash into things.
* If you want to be extra safe on the road. An example would be not to slip off a bridge and crashing on the road underneath, or hitting a wall or building, or flipping, or landing on top of another car, etc., or into a tree.
* If you want do not want to lose speed on grass or any rough terrain. Yes, when you have TRACTION and you drive on grass or any rough terrain, you don't move slower, instead, you keep the same momentum of speed as before.
* If want to move in water faster. Yes, you actually move faster in water too, because once you dive into the water, you actually get a boost which stays with you, enabling you to move faster in water. (That's if your car doesn't sink to the bottom, of course).
* If you'd rather not skid on the road, and keep a safe environment.
* If you rage easily, then TRACTION should help you with those turns and keep you from crashing and rewinding.
* If you can't handle FAST and TURBO-FUELED cars efficiently (no offence).

## Examples

### Turning in circles

#### **When NOT to use TRACTION CONTROL:**

* The car you are driving is SLOW and can't drift or leave any significant tire marks on the road because remember, TRACTION LOWERS YOUR SPEED (very slightly), so you don't want a already SLOW car to be SLOWER (the slightly smoother acceleration will not really reduce time). TURBO is more efficient with slow cars,
* If it's NOT necessary to use it TRACTION, like when you are on the 2nd car and the 1st car doesn't even go near you and your car is slow, then there is a ZERO need for TRACTION in this case.# e.g. Clark Jensen.
* If you want to get to your next destination FAST to save time, unless you absolutely can't get there with no power-ups at all and you need TRACTION.
* If you are LOW on time, so using a power-up which lowers your speed is probably not the best and brightest idea for that case.
* If you want higher chances of beating the game because TRACTION doesn't technically "increase" your chances of beating the game. (Aside from better control)

## Problems

1. Mr. Sculley used TRACTION, and crashed into Ms. Donnahue!
