Passing target: 80% (32/40)
On a wet road, acceleration causes the rear of car A to slide to the right. What should the driver do?
A blue sedan is yawed slightly toward the upper right on a wet two-way road, with its rear displaced toward the near side.
Correct answer: Ease off the accelerator and steer smoothly where you want to go
Why
Ease off the accelerator, look where you want the car to go and steer smoothly to bring it back toward that path. With the rear sliding right in this example, begin with a right correction. Avoid abrupt braking and overcorrection; adjust smoothly as the car straightens. This is an acceleration-induced rear skid, not a universal instruction for every skid or emergency stop.
