On a snowy curve, the rear of your car starts to slide sideways. What should you do?
On a snow-covered right curve, a dark motion arrow shows A’s rear sliding sideways to the right.
Correct answer: Stay off the brake, ease off the gas, and steer where you want the car to go.
Why
A skid happens when the tires can no longer grip the road, and most skids come from driving too fast for the conditions. The best skid control is prevention: slow down before curves, bridges, and other places where skids are likely. In a skid, use quick hand-over-hand steering and keep your eyes on the path you want.
