You drive a rear-wheel-drive pickup on a slick road. The rear end starts to slide to the right. What should you do?
Pickup A is on a slick two-lane road, facing generally up the road with its rear displaced to the right. The card states that it has rear-wheel drive and the rear is sliding right.
Correct answer: Stay off the brakes, ease off the gas, and steer right, the way the rear is sliding.
Why
Most skids come from driving too fast for a slippery road, so slower speeds are the best defense. The correction depends on which wheels drive the vehicle. In rear-wheel drive, stay off the brakes, ease off the gas, and steer the way the rear end slides. In front-wheel drive at moderate speed, speed up slightly and steer where you want to go; if there is no room, shift to neutral or push in the clutch.
