Passing target: 80% (24/30)
On an icy curve, the rear of your car starts to slide to the right. Where should you look and steer?
Blue A begins a skid on an icy right-hand curve. A dark motion arrow by the rear identifies the rear sliding to the driver’s right. There is no gaze target or chosen steering response.
Correct answer: Toward the place where you want the car to go, with smooth steering
Why
Skids happen when you drive too fast for conditions, stop too suddenly, or the tires can no longer grip the road. When a skid starts, take your feet off the pedals so that the tires can roll and grip again. Keep your eyes on the path that you want and avoid large, sudden steering moves.
