Q

There are three factors that can contribute to skids:

A

168
Q

occurs when you enter a curve too fast for the conditions and the tires don’t have enough traction to overcome the centrifugal force that is pushing the vehicle

spinout

169
Q

occurs when a wedge of water builds up in front the tire, causing the tires to lose contact with the road

hydroplaning
