You are steering a commercial motor vehicle through a rain-slicked curve on an exit ramp when the front wheels lose traction, causing the vehicle to slide straight ahead toward the outer shoulder despite the steering angle. What is the most effective action to regain steering control?
- ATurn the steering wheel more sharply into the curve to force the front tires to bite.
- Ease off the accelerator and refrain from braking to let the front tires regain rolling grip.Cevap
- CApply the service brakes firmly to transfer weight forward onto the steer axle.
- DActivate the engine retarder at maximum setting to rapidly reduce vehicle momentum.
Cevap
Ease off the accelerator and refrain from braking to allow the front tires to resume rolling traction.
In a front-wheel skid, the front tires slide straight ahead because friction has been overcome. The correct recovery technique according to CDL standards is to ease off the accelerator and avoid applying the brakes, which allows the vehicle to decelerate naturally until the front tires regain rolling traction and respond to steering inputs.
Adım Adım Çözüm
Anahtar Kavram
Front-wheel skid recovery requires letting the vehicle slow down without braking or abrupt steering to restore rolling traction to the steer axle.
