If hard application of the service brakes on an icy bridge causes the rear drive wheels to lock up and slide sideways, what immediate action should the driver take to regain directional control?
- ASteer firmly in the opposite direction of the rear-end skid without adjusting pedal pressure
- Release the service brakes to allow the wheels to start rolling againCevap
- CEngage the engine retarder immediately to assist the locked wheels in slowing down
- DApply harder braking pressure until the vehicle comes to a complete halt across the roadway
Cevap
Release the service brakes to allow the wheels to start rolling again
Releasing the service brakes eliminates the braking force that locked the drive wheels. Once the wheels start rolling freely again, they regain the lateral traction necessary to stabilize the vehicle and follow the driver's steering input.

Anahtar Kavram
Drive-wheel braking skid recovery requires stopping the braking action so the locked wheels can roll and restore traction.
