What to Do When a Car Skids on a Muddy Road?

[DeArya]

Solutions for a car skidding on a muddy road are as follows: 1. Use a jack. You can use the car's built-in jack to lift the vehicle, then place stones, bricks, branches, firewood, wooden boards, etc., in front of and behind the drive wheels, or wrap ropes around the drive wheels to increase the tires' grip, helping the car smoothly drive out of the mud pit. 2. Reduce tire pressure. Lowering the tire pressure makes the tires flatter, thereby increasing the friction between the tires and the ground. If only one side of the tires is skidding in the mud pit, the driver should gently pull the handbrake and increase the throttle. 3. Shape the mud pit into a slope. If you have tools at hand, you can shovel away the mud in front of and behind the wheels, shaping the mud pit into a slope. If there is water in the pit, try to remove it.
