There are two main types of skidding:
* Over-braking: This occurs when the driver brakes too hard, causing the wheels to lock up and lose traction.
* Over-steering: This occurs when the driver makes a turn too quickly, causing the rear wheels to lose traction and spin out of control.
There are a number of factors that can contribute to skidding, including:
* Speed: The faster the vehicle is moving, the more likely it is to skid.
* Road conditions: Wet, icy, or snowy roads can reduce traction and make skidding more likely.
* Tire condition: Worn tires or tires that are not properly inflated can reduce traction and make skidding more likely.
* Vehicle weight: The heavier the vehicle, the more momentum it has and the more likely it is to skid.
* Driver error: Improper driving techniques, such as braking too hard or turning too quickly, can increase the risk of skidding.
To avoid skidding, drivers should use caution when driving in wet, icy, or snowy conditions. They should also ensure that their tires are properly maintained and inflated. Finally, they should practice good driving techniques, such as driving at a safe speed, braking gradually, and turning slowly.
