Question 8113

If your passenger car skids, must you brake?

  1. No.
  2. Yes, while pressing the clutch pedal at the same time and turning the steering wheel left and right.
  3. Yes, intermittently.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

No. Braking during a skid, even in short bursts, reduces the wheels' grip even more and makes the skid worse. If hard braking caused the skid, release the brake. If the rear end slides out, steer in the direction it is sliding, without jerking the steering wheel from side to side.
