What is skid slip?

Skid slip is a driving condition where the wheels of a vehicle lose their traction on the road surface and begin to slide or skid. This can occur when the driver applies the brakes too forcefully or enters a turn too quickly, causing the tires to lose their grip on the pavement. Skid slip can also be caused by wet or icy road conditions, which reduce the friction between the tires and the road surface.

When a vehicle experiences skid slip, the driver may feel a loss of control and the vehicle may start to spin or slide sideways. This can be dangerous, especially at high speeds or in heavy traffic. To avoid skid slip, drivers should maintain a safe speed, avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and take care when driving on wet or icy roads. If skid slip does occur, drivers should remain calm, steer in the direction of the skid, and avoid slamming on the brakes or over-correcting the steering.
