Question 472 of 485

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

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

Explanation

For answer  A 

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


For answer  B 

If the bus enters a skid during braking, avoid sudden steering movements, because the grip 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 operate the brake, if possible.

Experienced drivers can accelerate slightly to stabilise 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 manoeuvre the bus will stop, in which case the situation will worsen.


The correct answer is: B
