Skidding occurs when a vehicle's tires lose traction with the road surface, causing it to slide uncontrollably. This can happen due to various factors, such as wet or icy roads, sudden braking, or sharp turns. When skidding, the driver may find it difficult to steer or stop the vehicle effectively. There are different types of skids, including front-wheel skids and rear-wheel skids. In a front-wheel skid, the vehicle's front tires lose grip, making it hard to steer. In a rear-wheel skid, the back tires lose traction, causing the rear of the vehicle to slide out. Understanding how to react during a skid can help prevent accidents.
