What to Do When Wheels Get Stuck in Sand?
1 Answers
When you find your wheels stuck in a sand pit, avoid revving the engine aggressively, as this will only make the situation worse. The faster the tires spin, the deeper they will sink. You can shovel away the mud around the wheels, shape the pit into a gentle slope, ensure the soil is firm or lay down sand and gravel, and remove any water from the pit. If the wheels are stuck in a sand pit, use second gear for a manual transmission car. For an automatic transmission car, shift the gear lever to the '2' position to temporarily disable the automatic transmission function.
