It's critical to keep the wheels pointing in the direction of the skid if you have a front-wheel skid. With a rear-wheel skid, though, you must steer into it. If you go around a curve and the car slides out to the right, you must carefully steer right towards the skid to neutralize the effect. Don't panic or jerk the wheel back and forth; that will only make things worse. Here are some other tips for preventing and dealing with vehicle skids: Prevent Skidding by Maintaining Proper Tire Pressure The best way to prevent skids is to maintain proper tire pressure. Underinflated tires will cause your car to slide on wet roads. Overinflated tires will make your car less stable and could cause you to lose control. A little goes a long way when it comes to tire pressure. Too much air in a tire can cause a blowout, so be sure to check your tire pressure regularly. Use The Correct Tire Type For The Conditions All weather tires should have at least one steel belt across the middle of the tire to help protect against cuts from rocks and branches. All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and mountain bikes require tires with more traction than regular tires. These bikes and vehicles tend to work better with harder surfaces such as dirt or pavement.
