Which driver behavior is a probable cause of the vehicle skidding?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Skidding is caused by a loss of tire traction on the road. Causes can be classified into three factors: the road, the vehicle, and the driver. Regarding the driver, improper and sudden use of the brakes (causing wheel lock) and incorrect handling of the steering (excessive turning or jerking the wheel) are the main triggers for skidding. In contrast, moderate use of the accelerator and driving at an appropriate speed promote stability.
