Skidding - Rear Wheel Skid
Before taking this lesson, please read and agree to our Terms and Conditions
This is usually caused by accelerating too hard or too early when taking a corner. You can feel it when the back of the car ‘steps out’ to the left or right depending on which way you are turning.
To regain control, you should steer ‘in’ to the skid and immediately remove your feet from the pedals. So, for example, if you are going round a roundabout and the back of the car begins to slide to the left, you would remove your feet from the pedals and carefully steer to the left. When the car is back under control, carry on as normal. Remember, all these things can happen in fractions of a second.
