safe-driving
If the rear wheels begin sliding sideways, what initial correction does the manual recommend?
- Pump the brakes repeatedly while turning sharply away
- Accelerate hard to force the tires straight
- Turn the wheel as far as possible toward the shoulder
- Ease off the gas pedal and avoid a fast turn away from the skid
Answer: Ease off the gas pedal and avoid a fast turn away from the skid. A sideways rear-wheel slide calls for a calm reduction in power. Ease off the gas, keep steering inputs controlled, and avoid snapping the wheel away from the skid. A sharp opposite movement or excessive steering can turn a slide into a spin. The procedure applies to both front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive vehicles. If the vehicle has conventional brakes, guide the steering wheel in the direction the rear is sliding, then straighten the vehicle after traction returns and continue slowly.
