A front-wheel skid occurs when the front tires of a vehicle lose traction, causing the driver to lose steering control. This can happen on slippery surfaces, such as wet or icy roads, or when braking too hard. When the front wheels skid, the vehicle may continue to move straight ahead, even if the driver is trying to turn. To recover from a front-wheel skid, drivers should ease off the accelerator and avoid slamming on the brakes. Instead, they should steer gently in the direction they want to go. This technique helps regain traction and control, allowing the vehicle to stabilize and follow the intended path.
