What most often causes a front-wheel (steering) skid?
- A.Driving too fast for conditions
- B.Having brand-new front tires
- C.Using the engine brake
- D.Braking only with the trailer brakes
Correct answer
A. Driving too fast for conditions
Why
Front wheels skid when they are asked for more grip than the surface offers, usually because speed is too high for the conditions or the front axle is overloaded. Ease off the accelerator and let the wheels regain traction without sudden inputs.
