When a car is on a curve, centrifugal force tends to force it outwards. Normally, this force is resisted by the car's tires gripping the road surface. However, ice on the road reduces the friction and therefore the tires cannot grip so well.

What is banking curves?
Banked curves are the sloped turn ways usually on high speed roads (i.e. highways, race car tracks). This is to increase the centrifugal force(gravity) on the car so it does not skid off the road.
Is it due to friction that vehicles do not skid on the road?
When you drift(accelerating faster then holding, steering, and releasing the brake), the skid marks and rubber smoke will appear on the road. If you are also doing a drift race, that also happens.
A skid loader bucket holds how much sand in cubic feet or pounds?
Depends on the skid. They come in a variety of sizes.
Why is the outer bank of the road kept slightly higher than the inner bank?
while taking turn on the road,a car moves in a circular path to keep the car moving along the circular path, centripetal force is required. in the absence of this force, the car will skid off the road to the outer size of the road and may possibly turn turtle due to inertia .the force of friction between the tires and roads provides the necessary centripetal force and keeps the car moving on the curved path.
Why might cars skid on wet roads?
Cars might skid on wet roads because the water gets under the tires of the car. Then the cars don't have enough traction.

Why in rainy season the moving vehicles on road skid?
In rainy season, moving vehicles on the road will skid due to the loss of friction when the tires encounter water on the road.
What does it mean to skid on a wet road?

Why do cars skid on rainy days?
As there is no friction on the road,thus the road will not have friction that stop the car from moving.

What will a car do when its tires lose part or all of their grip on the road?
The car will skid

Yes, it's perfectly legal.
