The rear of A slides to the right on a slippery road. What should the driver do?
The rear of blue A is sliding to the right on a slippery road.
Correct answer: Ease off the accelerator and steer where you want to go
Why
For the illustrated rear skid, ease off the accelerator, stay off the brake and look and steer smoothly where you want to go. The rear is sliding right, so the initial correction is right. Avoid overcorrecting; if the rear swings the other way, adjust smoothly until control returns.
