A cornering skid and an acceleration are best handledby easing your skid foot off the accelerator pedal. If your vehicle starts slide (as when turn a corner on a wet, to you snowor ice-covered road), ease your foot the accelerator pedal as soon as off you feel the vehicle start toslide. Quickly steer theway you want the vehicle to go. If you start steeringquickly enough, yourvehicle will straighten out. As does, straighten the front wheels. it Of course, tractionis reduced when water, snow, ice, gravel, or other material is on the road. For safety, you'll want to slow down and adjust your driving to these conditions.It is important toslow down on slippery surfaces because stopping distance be longer and vehicle control will more limited. While driving on asurface with reduced traction, try your bestto avoid sudden steering, acceleration,or braking (including engine braking by shifting to a lower gear). Any sudden changes could cause tires to the slide. You may not realize the surface slippery until your is vehicle is -skidding. Learn torecognize warning clues such as enough water, ice or make a "mirrored surface" and slow down -packed snow on the road to when you have any doubt. Remember: Any anti-lock brakingsystem (ABS) helps avoid only the braking skid. Steer the you want to go. way DIWTNG AT NIGHT 188
