What is what should you do when you begin to skid?

Here's information about what to do when you begin to skid:

When you begin to skid, it's crucial to remain calm and react correctly to regain control of your vehicle. The appropriate response depends on whether you're experiencing a front-wheel skid (understeer) or a rear-wheel skid (oversteer).

• Identify the Skid Type: Determine if it's the front or rear of your vehicle that's losing traction. This helps you select the correct recovery action.

• General Actions:

  • Ease off the Pedals: Immediately release the accelerator and, if possible, gently release the brake pedal. Avoid any sudden inputs.
  • Steer into the Skid: This is the golden rule. Steer in the direction you want the front of the car to go.

• Front-Wheel Skid (Understeer):

  • Ease off the Accelerator: Reduce engine power.
  • Steer Less: Counterintuitively, reduce the amount you're steering. This helps the front tires regain grip. Do not steer more.

• Rear-Wheel Skid (Oversteer):

  • If you are experiencing a rear-wheel skid then visit this page to learn more: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Rear-Wheel%20Skid
  • Steer into the Skid: Gently steer in the direction the rear of the car is sliding.
  • Avoid Braking: Resist the urge to brake hard, as this can worsen the skid.

• After Regaining Control: Once the skid is corrected, gently straighten the wheel and continue driving at a safe speed appropriate for the conditions.

Remember, practice makes perfect. Consider practicing skid recovery in a controlled environment with a qualified instructor to develop your skills and confidence.
