Safe DrivingPregunta 46 de 120
You are steering into a corner and the front end pushes straight ahead instead of turning. What is the most likely cause of this front-wheel skid?
a.The trailer brakes are dragging
b.Driving too fast for conditions, worn or under-inflated front tires, or a very light load on the front axle
c.The engine brake is engaged
d.The steering wheel is turned too little
Explicación
Front-wheel skids come from asking more of the steer tires than the available traction allows, usually because of excess speed, poor tire condition, or too little weight on the front axle. Dragging trailer brakes and an engaged engine brake affect the rear, and turning the wheel more only increases the skid.
