it creats a flat spot on your tire which makes it skid easy, like a sled. When your driving in snow or ice, don't slam on your brakes, just tap them over and over again and let go of the accelarator, and hold the steering wheel tight.

What is difference between skid and slip in relation to aircraft?

When brakes partially applied, or works the air craft slips forward, when brakes are applied fully and anti skid detector fails the air craft skids.


What skid occurs when the brakes are applied so hard that the front or rear wheels lose traction?

Braking


What do you do if you must stop suddenly in an emergency?

If your vehicle has abs brakes, just apply the brakes hard and steer away from danger. If the vehicle does not have abs brakes, try to apply the brakes without locking up the wheels and going into a skid then steer away from danger. If you lock up the brakes and go into a skid you will lose control of your steering.


What is the function of anti skid brake manifold in aircraft?

Answer On "older" aircraft, the pilot applies brakes that moves cranks and pulleys that opens the Brake Valve. The Brake Valve ports regulated pressure to the Anti-Skid Manifolds. The Manifolds provides the pressure to the brakes. If the Anti-Skid computer detects a skid condition, the computer commands a pair of matching brakes to release pressure to allow the wheels to spin back up. The anti-skid releases brakes in pairs to keep an equal braking applied to each side of the aircraft. If the braking is unsymmitrical, this could cause the a/c to go into a spin.


What types of skid occur when the brakes are applied so hard that the front or rear wheels lose traction?

When brakes are applied too hard and wheels lose traction, two main types of skids can occur: front-wheel skid and rear-wheel skid. A front-wheel skid happens when the front wheels lose grip, causing the vehicle to slide straight ahead, often leading to understeering. In contrast, a rear-wheel skid occurs when the rear wheels lose traction, resulting in oversteering, where the rear of the vehicle swings out. Both types can compromise vehicle control and increase the risk of accidents.


If you are involved in a skid what should you NEVER do?

Lock your brakes


Can you skid on disc brakes?

As long as the brake is strong enough to lock the wheel, you can skid with any brake design.


If you are in a rear wheel skid you must release your brakes and turn your steering wheel?

Into the skid, meaning in the direction the rear tires are going, Think of it as, "catching the skid."


What is the safest thing to do when your vehicle goes into a skid?

Steer gently in the direction you want the car to go. As you begin to regain control of the car, gently apply the brakes (assuming you have anti-lock brakes) or the accelerator depending on the type of skid.


Why don't my brakes work when applied hard on my 2004 Toyota?

If your brakes truly don't work when applied as you would in an emergency, stop driving the car and have it towed/trucked to your mechanic or a Toyota dealer to be checked. That said, it's pretty much impossible for a braking system on a modern car not to work at all. If there were a fault in the system you should have a brake warning light shining on your dash. I'll take a wild leap here and guess that you've never slammed on the brakes while driving a car equipped with anti-lock brakes. When an anti-lock system is applied in emergency mode, you can usually feel the pedal vibrating (which scares some people so they let off the brake and slam into something) and the tires do not skid. The brakes are actually applied and released by a computer that reads a sensor on each wheel. If it senses the tire is about to skid (stop) the brake is released on that wheel. That apply/release sequence occurs very rapidly. The end result is you do not skid, the car comes to a quick controllable stop. Cheers


If your car starts to skid, is it better to try to steer or just pump the brakes?

If your car begings to skid it's typicall better to not pump the brakes but instead steer out of it. If your sliding on ice you should try and correct your swerve.


Slamming hard on the brakes can cause a vehicle to skid?

Yes, unless the vehicle has functioning ABS (antilock brake system) brakes.
