When you brake hard sometimes lose control of the car Why is this?

When you brake hard, the weight of the car shifts forward, causing the front tires to grip the road more firmly and the rear tires to lose some traction. This can cause the car to skid, especially if the road is wet or icy.

To avoid losing control of the car when braking hard, you should:

* Brake gradually and evenly.

* Avoid slamming on the brakes.

* Brake in a straight line.

* If you start to skid, release the brakes and turn into the skid.

* Once you have regained control of the car, brake gently and gradually until you come to a stop.

Here are some additional tips for braking safely:

* Keep your tires inflated to the proper pressure.

* Have your brakes inspected regularly.

* Replace your brake pads when they are worn out.

* Avoid driving in bad weather conditions.
