So there was this video of a woman managing to avoid a crash by steering in a special way. I’m learning to drive rn and people keep saying if you skid you steer into it, but isn’t that the opposite of what it feels like you would do?
In: Physics
Assume you’re driving on an icy road. The road turns to the right. You turn the steering wheel to the right. Because it’s so slippery you lose the control of the car. The back end of the car starts to go left. The car is about to continue straight and your back end is pulling you. To stop this from escalating you turn your steering wheel straight – to where the car is going – until the car is straight. Now you’re back in control.
