What to Do When a Car Skids on Snow?
1 Answers
When driving a car that skids on snow, a gentle approach should be adopted, avoiding sudden movements. Here are some tips for dealing with car skidding: 1. Preventing Skidding on Uphill: For front-wheel-drive vehicles, pull the handbrake during uphill to prevent rolling back and rear-end collisions. Then, shift into 1st gear (or 2nd gear for vehicles with higher low-end torque), gently press the accelerator while partially engaging the clutch until you feel the tires grip the road before releasing the handbrake. Some high-end cars are equipped with a snow mode; please activate this mode when driving in snowy conditions. 2. Skidding During Driving: First, avoid sudden acceleration or braking while driving. If the car skids during acceleration, ease off the accelerator; if it skids during braking, release the brake pedal.
