Cars Can Avoid
Winter Skids

Skids on icy roads can be
easily corrected if drivers
don't hit the brakes and
remember a few simple steps,
according to AAA Michigan.
Hard acceleration or brak-
ing, speed too fast for condi-
tions, and quick, jerky
movements of the steering
wheel are the primary causes
of skids.
The best way to avoid skid-
ding is to reduce speed in ad-
vance of curves, turns or
when changing lanes and
make smooth, precise
movements of the steering
wheel.
But if you do experience a
skid, don't panic, hit the
brakes or jerk the steering
wheel. Instead, use gentle
steering movements to regain
control.
For a rear-wheel skid, AAA
Michigan recommends:
• De-clutch on a car with
manual transmission. On a
car with automatic transmis-
sion, take your foot off the gas
pedal and shift to neutral
(should be practiced). This
will equally distribute the
power to all four wheels.
• Steer in the direction you
want the front of the car to go.
• Just before the rear
wheels stop skidding,
counter-steer until you are go-
ing in the desired direction.
(Drivers of rear-wheel drive
cars should be prepared for a
possible rear-wheel skid in
the opposite direction if they
over-correct for the initial
skid.)
• Release the clutch or shift
to "drive" and gently ac-
celerate to a safe speed.
For a front-wheel skid:
• De-clutch with a manual;
take your foot off the ac-
celerator (and shift to neutral)
with an automatic.
• Don't move the steering
wheel.
• Wait for the front wheels
to grip the road again, then
steer in the desired direction
of travel.
• Release the clutch or shift
to "drive" and gently ac-
celerate to a safe speed.
