If your car starts to skid, it's crucial to react calmly and correctly to regain control. Here's a breakdown of what to do:
Identify the Skid Type: Determine if you're experiencing a front-wheel skid (understeer) or a rear-wheel skid (oversteer). This affects your response.
Stay Calm: Panic will only worsen the situation. Take a deep breath and focus on steering.
Ease Off the Pedals: Immediately release the accelerator and brake pedals. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, which can make the skid worse.
Steer in the Direction of the Skid: This is counterintuitive but essential.
Avoid Overcorrection: Once you feel the car regaining traction, gently straighten the steering wheel. Overcorrecting can cause the car to skid in the opposite direction.
Look Where You Want to Go: Focus your eyes on the path you want to follow. This helps your brain guide your hands to steer in the correct direction.
Braking (if equipped with ABS): If your car has Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), apply firm and steady pressure to the brake pedal. The ABS will automatically modulate the braking to prevent wheel lockup. Do not pump the brakes.
Braking (if not equipped with ABS): If your car doesn't have ABS, use threshold braking: apply firm pressure to the brakes, but release slightly if you feel the wheels locking up. Pump the brakes gently if necessary to maintain some steering control.
Once Controlled: Once you've regained control of the vehicle, gently steer back onto your intended path.
