9-6 Driving and Operating

Skidding

In a skid, a driver can lose control of

the vehicle. Defensive drivers avoid

most skids by taking reasonable

care suited to existing conditions,

and by not overdriving those

conditions. But skids are always

possible.

The three types of skids correspond

to the vehicle's three control

systems. In the braking skid, the

wheels are not rolling. In the

steering or cornering skid, too much

speed or steering in a curve causes

tires to slip and lose cornering force.

And in the acceleration skid, too

much throttle causes the driving

wheels to spin.

If the vehicle starts to slide, ease

your foot off the accelerator pedal

and quickly steer the way you want

the vehicle to go. If you start

steering quickly enough, the vehicle

may straighten out. Always be ready

for a second skid if it occurs.

Of course, traction is reduced when

water, snow, ice, gravel, or other

material is on the road. For safety,

slow down and adjust your driving to

these conditions. It is important to

slow down on slippery surfaces

because stopping distance will be

longer and vehicle control more

limited.

While driving on a surface with

reduced traction, try to avoid

sudden steering, acceleration,

or braking, including reducing

vehicle speed by shifting to a lower

gear. Any sudden changes could

cause the tires to slide. You may not

realize the surface is slippery until

the vehicle is skidding. Learn to

recognize warning clues — such as

enough water, ice, or packed snow

on the road to make a mirrored

surface — and slow down when you

have any doubt.

If the vehicle has the Antilock Brake

System (ABS), remember: It helps

avoid only the braking skid. If the

vehicle does not have ABS, then in

a braking skid, where the wheels

are no longer rolling, release

enough pressure on the brakes to

get the wheels rolling again. This

restores steering control. Push the

brake pedal down steadily when you

have to stop suddenly. As long as

the wheels are rolling, you will have

steering control.
