When a commercial vehicle experiences a drive-wheel skid caused by over-braking on a slick roadway, what should the driver do first to regain control?
- AActivate the auxiliary engine retarder to help slow the drive axle.
- BSteer firmly in the opposite direction of the rear-wheel slide.
- Stop braking to allow the rear drive wheels to roll and regain traction.Cevap
- DApply maximum pressure to the brake pedal until the vehicle stops completely.
Cevap
Stop braking to allow the rear drive wheels to roll and regain traction.
In a drive-wheel braking skid, the rear tires lose grip because excessive braking force has locked them up. Releasing the service brakes immediately allows the wheels to turn freely again, which restores tire grip and allows the driver to steer the vehicle along its intended path.
