Question 4332
How should you act when the rear wheels skid?
- Turn the steering wheel toward the opposite side.
- Turn the steering wheel toward the same side.
- Grip the steering wheel firmly and do not turn it.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Turn the steering wheel toward the same side.
If the rear of the car slides, turn the steering wheel in the same direction it is sliding, just enough to correct it, and straighten up when the car returns to its path. If the rear slides left, steer left. At the same time, remove the cause. Release the brake if sudden braking caused the skid, or ease off the accelerator if you were accelerating. Steering the opposite way or holding the wheel still does not correct the rear-end slide.
