Skids And TractionStandalone practice
In a skid that is not an ABS emergency stop, what general response does Alberta’s guide recommend?
A’s rear has slid to the right on a wet road. This is one specific rear-skid example.
Correct answer: Release the gas, avoid braking, steer where you want to go
Why
For the general skid described, stay off the brake and accelerator, look where you want the front to go and make controlled steering corrections. Avoid large corrections. A working ABS emergency stop uses its own steady-pressure technique.
