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
You are attempting to keep the car facing the same direction. Once traction is regained, you continue driving, or can safely pull over.
The alternative is spinning which means you are disoriented and can’t effectively do anything to prevent running into other cars/people. Once you regain traction, you are facing a random direction. All of this is very dangerous.
