A cornering skid is best handled by easing your foot off

the accelerator pedal.

Remember: Any traction control system helps avoid only

the acceleration skid. If your traction control system is

off, then an acceleration skid is also best handled

by easing your foot off the accelerator pedal.

If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the

accelerator pedal and quickly steer the way you want

the vehicle to go. If you start steering quickly enough,

your vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready

for a second skid if it occurs.

Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow, ice,

gravel, or other material is on the road. For safety, you

will want to slow down and adjust your driving to

these conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery

surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and

vehicle control more limited.

While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try

your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration,

or braking, including engine braking by shifting to a

lower gear. Any sudden changes could cause the tires

to slide. You may not realize the surface is slippery

until your vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warning

clues — such as enough water, ice, or packed snow

on the road to make a mirrored surface — and

slow down when you have any doubt.

Remember: Any anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps

avoid only the braking skid.

Driving at Night

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.

One reason is that some drivers are likely to be

impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night vision

problems, or by fatigue.
