Skidding in front of the snow and ice road, stepping on the brakes or stepping on the accelerator?

Driving on ice and snow roads, I believe everyone has heard that stepping on the brakes will lose control, and the gas pedal will also lose control, so have you heard that stepping on the accelerator can save the runaway vehicle?

You might say, the snow and ice are out of control, and I step on the acceleratorIsn't it crazy?

Brother, you heard it right, of course, this premise must be a front-wheel drive car. Why do you step on the accelerator instead of the brakes when you're out of control?

First of all, driving on ice and snow roads is actually a game with grip. When you lose control, it's actually the wheels that can't grip the ground and you're about to lose grip. When you lock the tires, then you don't have any chance to control the vehicle, at this time, no matter how you go in the direction, you can only give yourself and the vehicle to the inertia of physics.

And when you lose control and slide to one side, as long as you don't apply the brakes, the wheels are actually rolling forward. At this time, you just need to keep the steering wheel in a straight line, give your feet oil, and the front of the car will have a chance to get back to a straight line. And its principle is that the front wheel of the front-wheel drive car is the driving wheel, and the guide wheel, the oil is to forcibly increase the friction to the front wheel that is about to lose grip, when the friction comes back, it can bite the road surface, and the guide wheel also has the ability to guide. It's equivalent to giving the front-wheel drive car, when it is out of control, pulling a hand.

Of course, if there is a car in front of you, or with a slope, this trick is not good. In winter, it is safer to change to snow tires on the ice and snow roads and then go out.
