Is the skid on the front or rear wheels?

To determine the direction of the skid, observe the swing direction of the rear of the car. Here are some additional details: 1. Vehicle skid: When a moving car experiences braking, rotational inertia, or other factors causing one axle's wheels or both axles' wheels to move laterally (i.e., swinging sideways), this phenomenon is called a skid. Vehicle skids can be categorized into four-wheel skids, front-wheel skids, and rear-wheel skids. Vehicle skids, especially rear-wheel skids, pose a significant threat to safe driving, often leading to severe traffic accidents such as collisions, rollovers, or running off the road. 2. Causes of skids: Slippery roads due to wet conditions, oil spills, or ice reduce the coefficient of friction and create asymmetry between the left and right sides. The wheel load and road adhesion also decrease, making the wheels prone to skidding with even slight lateral forces. During braking, if the four wheels experience unbalanced resistance—such as unequal braking force between left and right wheels, varying coefficients of friction among the wheels, or a load center of gravity biased to one side—it can cause the car to 'pull' to one side, which is also highly likely to result in wheel skidding.
