Some crash analysis practitioners maintain that the Critical Speed Formula (CSF) cannot be used
in the presence of braking or acceleration, nor can it be used on surfaces other than dry pavement.
Some recent research (and some not-so-recent) refutes these positions. This paper will review some of
the literature on the matter, and will present results of a variety of yaw tests conducted under those
conditions.
