Question:2

What causes a vehicle to skid on the roadway?

Quick wear of the clutch and of the gearbox.

When the braking forces or the vehicles inertia exceed the tire’s ability to grip of the roadway.

Excessive change of gears.

When the engine is worn out and cannot stabilize the vehicle.

Category : Safety

Question:3

How can a correct grip of the steering wheel help to control the vehicle and to keep it stable?

The way you grip the wheel is only important in sharp turns and curves, when the vehicle moves in high speed.

Correct wheel grip is only important in big and heavy vehicles such as trucks and buses.

In a new-model vehicle, the way we hold the steering wheel is important while driving in sharp curves.

A correct grip of the steering wheel allows precise turning of the wheel, thus allowing control at all times.
