Zorluk: OrtaSkidding Causes and Correction

You are accelerating smoothly away from a junction onto an icy road when the driven wheels suddenly lose traction, causing the rear of the car to slide sideways. What is the correct initial action to regain control of the vehicle?

  1. A
    Brake firmly with the footbrake to bring the spinning wheels to an immediate stop
  2. Ease off the accelerator gently and steer smoothly in the direction of the skidCevap
  3. C
    Press the clutch fully down and allow the vehicle to coast in neutral until it straightens
  4. D
    Accelerate firmly while steering sharply away from the direction of the slide

Cevap

Ease off the accelerator gently and steer smoothly in the direction of the skid
When a vehicle's driven wheels lose grip under acceleration on ice and the rear slides, easing off the accelerator removes excess torque so the tyres can regain traction. Steering smoothly into the direction of the slide brings the front of the vehicle back in line with the rear, stabilizing the vehicle.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the cause of the loss of traction
Excessive wheelspin from acceleration on a low-friction icy surface has induced a rear-wheel skid
Recognising the skid type determines the correct mechanical response
2
Release the accelerator pedal smoothly
Engine power to the driven wheels is reduced, allowing tyre treads to regain grip on the road surface
Sudden or continued power inputs maintain wheelspin and prevent adhesion
3
Steer into the slide
The front wheels turn in the direction the rear of the car is sliding, correcting the yaw angle
Aligning the steering with the slide helps the vehicle track straight without overcorrecting
