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 need to experience it and “feel it”.
That said it’s pretty simple: Keep your front wheels pointed in the direction your car is traveling.
If you rear end swings lefts, your front tires need to be turned left to be pointed in the direction the car is moving.
In a “controlled skid” where only the rear wheels are sliding you can still steer a bit (this is the part you can get a feel f0r)
In an un-controlled skid where all 4 are sliding, your car will suddenly get traction as the car slows, and when you get it back you want your front tires to be pointed in the direction you WANT to go.
