9-6 Driving and Operating

.Steering or Cornering Skid —

too much speed or steering in a

curve causes tires to slip and

lose cornering force.

.Acceleration Skid —too much

throttle causes the driving

wheels to spin.

Defensive drivers avoid most skids

by taking reasonable care suited to

existing conditions, and by not

overdriving those conditions. But

skids are always possible.

If the vehicle starts to slide, follow

these suggestions:

.Ease your foot off the

accelerator pedal and steer the

way you want the vehicle to go.

The vehicle may straighten out.

Be ready for a second skid if it

occurs.

.Slow down and adjust your

driving according to weather

conditions. Stopping distance

can be longer and vehicle

control can be affected when

traction is reduced by water,

snow,ice, gravel, or other

material on the road. Learn to

recognize warning clues —such

as enough water,ice, or packed

snow on the road to make a

mirrored surface —and slow

down when you have any doubt.

.Tryto avoid sudden steering,

acceleration, or braking,

including reducing vehicle speed

by shifting to a lower gear.Any

sudden changes could cause

the tires to slide.

Remember: Antilock brakes help

avoid only the braking skid.

Driving on Wet Roads

Rain and wet roads can reduce

vehicle traction and affect your

ability to stop and accelerate.

Always drive slower in these types

of driving conditions and avoid

driving through large puddles and

deep‐standing or flowing water.

{Warning

Wet brakes can cause crashes.

They might not work as well in a

quick stop and could cause

pulling to one side. Youcould

lose control of the vehicle.

After driving through a large

puddle of water or a car/vehicle

wash, lightly apply the brake

pedal until the brakes work

normally.

Flowing or rushing water creates

strong forces. Driving through

flowing water could cause the

vehicle to be carried away.If this

happens, you and other vehicle

occupants could drown. Do not

ignore police warnings and be

very cautious about trying to drive

through flowing water.
