01Sideslip and tail flick occur

Brake too hard or accelerate sharply will cause the car to slide sideways and flick the tailIt's just sliding out sideways or swinging its tail back and forth. Treatment: Side slip or tail flick caused by excessive brakingThe brake pedal should be released and the brake should be braked by continuous point braking(Cars with ESP generally don't have a similar situation). When a similar dangerous situation arisesDon't punch the directionIt is very dangerous to try to stop the vehicle from skidding by turning the direction.

02 Front wheel slippage

Rear-wheel drive cars

The first step is to release the accelerator pedalDo not press the brake or clutch pedal.

The second step is to turn the steering wheel to turn the front wheel in the same direction as the body, but do not overturn it to avoid the rear wheel skidding.

Step 3,After the front wheel adhesion is restored, gently press the throttleTurn back in the right direction.

Front-wheel drive cars

The first step is to slowly relax the accelerator pedalDon't let it all go,Keep the vehicle moving. Sudden deceleration may cause the rear wheels to slip as well. Do not press the clutch or brakes, and do not jerk the steering wheel right.

The second step is to slowly turn the steering wheel and turn into the direction you want to driveBut don't turn too quickly or too much.

In the third step, after the vehicle corrects the direction, the steering wheel is corrected, and then slowly accelerates.

03 Rear wheel slippage

The first step is to release the accelerator or brake pedal and do not press the clutch.

Step 2,Turn the steering wheel in the direction of the rear coastingBut don't overturn, or the vehicle will skid in the opposite direction.

The third step is to correct the slippage and accelerate slowly.

04Precautions for preventing vehicle skidding

TiresMake sure the tire pressure is normal and wear evenly. In cold and freezing weather,Consider replacing your winter tiresIt has better grip and slip resistance. In addition, keep the tire in contact with the ground to the maximumAvoid driving at high speeds or making sharp turns.

Lighting controlIf visibility is not good, or if the snow is falling, it shouldTurn on the front and rear fog lights,So that others can find you in time. But if the visibility is good, or if it's sunny after snowTurn off the fog lightsSo as not to irritate the eyes of the drivers of the front and rear vehicles and cause accidents.

ESP switches should be handled with cautionIt is not advisable to turn off the ESP in winter, as it helps the driver to regain control of the car in extreme conditions, especially when it is skiddingBut the ESP must be turned off when climbingOtherwise, once it slips, it is easy to cause insufficient climbing power.

Coast downhill with gearOn snow, especially downhill, choosing to slide in neutral gear is easy to cause problems such as excessive vehicle speed, and when braking, it is easy to flick the vehicle. So when going downhill, try to slide with gearEngine braking is used to control vehicle speedDon't apply the brakes too often.
