When a vehicle begins to skid, the correct response is to take your foot off the accelerator and steer towards the direction of the skid to regain control.

Community Safety Education Act

This act aims to establish clear behavioral expectations for both law enforcement officers and citizens to improve safety and accountability.

Handling Driving Emergencies

If the vehicle runs off the pavement, the recommended action is to steer straight, reduce speed, and gradually maneuver back onto the road.
In the event of a tire blowout, drivers should maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel, ease off the gas, and brake gently to maintain control.

Causes of Vehicle Skids

Skids are most commonly caused by driving at excessive speeds on slippery or wet roads, highlighting the importance of adapting driving behavior to road conditions.
