Which Roads Are Prone to Skidding?
1 Answers
Roads that have just started to get wet from rain, high-speed braking, and roads after snow, ice, or heavy fog often experience severe accidents such as rollovers and collisions due to loss of control caused by vehicle skidding. The factors that cause vehicle skidding are as follows: 1. Mechanical imbalance: Deformation of the front axle (I-beam) or looseness of the kingpin and its bushings; looseness of the tie rod ball joints; improper adjustment of the toe-in for vehicles with a double tie rod structure; looseness of the wheel hub, or fracture of the side beam, etc. 2. Improper adjustment of the wheel brake valve: If during braking, any wheel does not lock or the rear wheels lock while the front wheels do not, as well as differences in initial braking speed and adhesion coefficients, or braking deviation, severe skidding can occur.
