NewCurs Pose
New Skiddinq
Problems

Skidding continues to be a
question facing millions of mo-
florists.
The problem was supposed to
have been buried with the gen.
eral use of low-presSure tires,
four wheel brakes, modern high
ways, better weight distribution
and billions of miles of driving
experience. But the problem is
still with us.
In fact, skidding has taken on
some fancy features.
Three factors are responsible
for the latest in skidding power,
speed and ease of control. Two
of these, power and ease of con-
troll, were engineered into cars
largely to help drivers avoid
trouble or to help them extricate
themselves when caught in a
jam.
But once again it is the prob
lem of misuse of advantages.
Even speed can be used to help
a driver avoid trouble, but such
instances are rare by compare
son with the high cost of mis-
used speed.
Power Traps Unwary.
1t is not merely the great
surge Of power under the hood
that traps the unwary driver
into trouble when traction is at
a low ebb, but the added per-
Torrance offered by this power
In combination with the trans
mission.
Every autom a tic drive,
whether a fully automatic trans
mission or a torque converter,
has kickdown provision where
by the driver can get into lower
gearing for extra acceleration
merely by pressing down on the
accelerator pedal beyond a re-
sistance point.
If the highway surface is slip
perry, whether from ice, hard
packed snow, mud or oil, the car
may go into a violent skid. 1t is
also easy to throw the car of
balance by mishandling the ac-
celerator so as to bring the auto
matte drive into too abrupt
changes.
These drives are useful in
helping the driver get started
when the car is on ice, but be-
yond that point they should be
handled with special care.
Ease Deceptive.
On many cars merely pressing
down on the accelerator, even If
not enough to bring the kick
down into action. is sufficient to
send too much power to the driv-
ing wheels. Adding to the risk in
excessive motor and transmission
power is the greater ease of
handling today's car.
This may seem to be a con-
. tradiction but the truth is that
If car steers. brakes and accel-
crates with greater ease there Is
always the danger of oversteer-
ing, overbraking and overpow-
ering in an emergency.
One of the important steps
for the driver of any car to learn
is to be more moderate in his
handling of it. This is the first
important lesson in skid-control.
