Prevention and Correction of Skidding
Skidding is the uncontrollable movement of a vehicle caused due to a lack or loss of traction of its wheels. Vehicle skidding can take place due to a variety of reasons that can range from accelerating or braking hard to excessive speed to just bad weather conditions. It is thus extremely important to take appropriate precautionary steps to avoid a skid. This article aims at elucidating these steps and also gives tips on how to correct a skid if actually faced with one.
Prevention of Car skidding
Drive according to the weather: Driving in wet conditions caused due to rains and ice requires much more cautiousness than driving on a warm dry day. The chances of a skid are much more on a bad weather day. It is thus important to reduce the speed of the vehicle. One should maintain greater separation between you and other cars on the road to avoid any harsh or sudden movements, for example, if the car upfront stops suddenly you should be able to brake comfortably without skidding. There are also chances of formation of black ice due to the rains and care should be taken to recognize it and drive accordingly. While driving on icy roads avoid recklessness at all costs, avoid using phones or other such distractions, use both hands on the wheel and put your mind only on the road.
Check the speed: Keep a check on the speed of your car to have full control on it. Slow down when taking a turn; turning too sharply especially on a wet road is one of the major causes of a skid. Avoid using the brakes excessively; it might lead to the locking up of wheels. Accelerating the vehicle too hard should also be avoided as it could also lead to a skid.
Correction of a skid
Skids can mainly be generalized into two categories.
Over-steering: Over-steering is also called as fishtailing. This happens when the rear wheels of the vehicle lose traction. It leads to the spinning out of the car. Fishtailing mainly occurs due to the combination of slippery roads and high speed.
Under-Steering: Under-steering occurs when the front wheels of the vehicle lose traction. In this case the vehicle doesn’t turn as tightly as the driver expects it to and takes a much wider turn than required.
Now, in either of these types of skids the first step of the correction mechanism requires removing your foot off the brakes and the accelerator. After this, there needs to be gentle steering in the direction you need to go. If it’s the front wheels which are skidding, apply the brakes gently. If the rear wheels are skidding, accelerate lightly. These techniques redistribute the weight of the vehicle to the appropriate wheels and traction is regained.
