SUBJECT 4 · EMERGENCY AVOIDANCE
When braking, if the rear wheels lock, the vehicle may skid sideways and fishtail.
ANSWER · A
"Skidding" or "drifting" is the phenomenon of lateral swing caused by excessive torque when the vehicle accelerates, brakes, or starts suddenly. Many factors cause sideways skidding: on snowy, rainy, or icy roads, lifting off the accelerator or accelerating suddenly; emergency braking; and the rear wheels locking before the front wheels during braking — all easily cause skidding and accidents.
