What if the car skidded?

One of the most unpleasant and dangerous phenomena that occur on the road - a skid car. As a result, it can become completely unmanageable, which often involves a serious car accident.

 I recall that a common cause of skidding is emergency braking with full wheel lock. Other factors identified included: a strong side wind, uneven tire wear or installation on a single axle tires with different tread pattern (which is strictly prohibited by the road), a sharp push on the gas pedal, slippery surface of the carriageway, a sharp turn the steering wheel.
When skidding vehicle wheels lose grip (or it remains at a minimum), which are beginning to slip. In this case, the vehicle operates the shear force, which displaces it to the side and rear of the car moves to the right or left.
Note. The front-drive cars are much less susceptible to drifts, especially when moving in a forward direction. Drifts with such machines usually happen when turning or when driving on winding roads.
If puts RWD car is strictly forbidden to press the gas pedal - it will lead to twisting machines around its axis. Need to reduce the fuel supply and if necessary a little to turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. One of the most common mistakes drivers caught in a skid, is that they are twisting the steering wheel in the direction opposite to the skid, thus speeding up the rotation of a machine on its axis. In addition, as already mentioned, in any case, do not block the wheel brake pedal.
Derived from skidding front wheel drive car can increase fuel supply, that is a little touch of the gas pedal. Front-wheel drive, is leading the way will pull the car forward, due to what happens to the alignment. You may also wish to turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
If your car skidded, remember the following:

    * Front-wheel drive vehicle should be turned in the direction of motion;
    * Intensity of work with the steering wheel - is the same as the intensity of the turn back of the car;
    * Turn the steering wheel to the other side needs a little earlier than at any time stop a skid the rear of the vehicle;
    * In no event, do not use the brake and clutch;
    * The engine speed must be kept at a level such that the drive wheels rotate without slipping on the surface of the carriageway.
Most importantly - do not panic. Unfortunately, many drivers, hitting a skid, lose control, making ill-considered actions. Keep yourself in their hands - and you will safely get out of this situation.
