Why Should You Steer in the Same Direction as the Rear Wheel Skid?
1 Answers
When a vehicle skids, there is a forward force pushing the rear of the car, while the force at the front is less than that at the rear, causing the vehicle body to skid. The reason for steering in the same direction as the rear wheel skid is: 1. Steering in the opposite direction: If you steer in the opposite direction, the wheel rotation direction differs from the movement direction, creating greater friction and resistance. This can cause the rear of the car to move with more force than the front, leading to a spin. 2. Steering in the same direction: If you steer in the same direction, the wheel rotation aligns with the movement direction, resulting in less friction and ensuring the car does not spin during the skid.
