How to Adjust Direction During a Skid?
1 Answers
If a sudden skid occurs while driving, immediately release the brake pedal and quickly turn the steering wheel toward the side of the skid. On icy or snowy roads, never use emergency braking, as it will not only fail to stop the vehicle but may also accelerate the skid or even cause a rollover. Avoid sudden steering or braking. Instead, immediately lift the brake pedal while turning the steering wheel toward the skidding side, then promptly correct the direction and continue driving. If the front wheels skid, maintain steady throttle and steer out of the skid. For rear-wheel skids, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid until the rear wheels realign, then return to the lane. When encountering a rear-wheel skid while descending a slope, lightly press the throttle to increase speed until the skid is resolved, then resume normal driving speed.
