Modern cars have many electronic systems that insure against unforeseen situations on the road. However, the expert “Behind the wheel” Maxim Gomyanin Certainlythat you must be able to level the car yourself, otherwise an accident cannot be avoided.

Front – the most popular type of drive today. Skidding happens for the same reasons as rear wheel drive cars. Sharp steering movements or sudden braking – hello, ditch. What must we do?

If your car wobbles, don’t step on the gas! The front drive wheels are extended in a curve as well as on a straight road. And, of course, no less important – do not press the brake, otherwise it will be activated.

At the exit of the corner, when the driver stepped on the gas, the front axle may begin to drift. Do not be afraid. The tires hit the snow at the edge of the road and the skidding stops. However, the best solution is to take your foot off the accelerator. The front will press more strongly against the ground due to the engine braking.

Remember: the above advice is theory. Skills are required to successfully apply them in practice. But it is better to work out the skills of emergency driving in a specialized driving school, under the supervision of professional instructors. Do not do this on public roads.
