Question 507 of 533

When braking, the truck skids. How do you react correctly?

A brake to the maximum;
B do not apply the brake and turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the skid;
C stop the engine.

Explanation

For answer  A 

If you brake to the maximum you will accentuate even more the skid and you will no longer be able to regain adhesion.


For answer  B 

If the truck enters a skid during braking, avoid sudden steering movements, because the adhesion between the tyres and the carriageway is very low. In such situations, turn the steering wheel slightly in the opposite direction of the frontal skid and try not to apply the brake, if possible.

Experienced drivers can accelerate slightly to stabilize the vehicle during a skid, but only if the road is free of other vehicles or obstacles. However, this technique requires experience and is not recommended for drivers who have not been trained in defensive driving.


For answer  C 

If you stop the engine all safety systems and those that help to manoeuvre the truck will stop, in which case the situation will worsen.


The correct answer is: B
