What to Do When a Vehicle Loses Control?
1 Answers
Solutions for a vehicle losing control: Immediately lift the accelerator pedal, shift the gear lever into a lower gear, and evenly pull the parking brake with steady force. When the speed noticeably decreases, step on the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a gradual stop. Remember, do not use emergency braking first to avoid causing a rollover. For vehicles equipped with power steering, if you suddenly find steering very difficult and operation strenuous, remain calm and drive cautiously. If the front of the car skids, usually caused by entering a turn too quickly with insufficient steering, absolutely do not step on the brake. First, slowly release the throttle while turning the steering wheel in the direction the front of the car is skidding (not too much), allowing the front wheels to regain traction, then immediately turn the steering wheel back while gently applying the throttle.
