During a front-wheel (understeer) skid, the correct response is to:

Quebec road sign — Ease off the accelerator and straighten the wheels until grip returns
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Ease off the accelerator and straighten the wheels until grip returns

Understeer happens when the front tires lose grip and the car continues straight. Easing off the gas transfers weight forward to load the front tires, while straightening the wheels lets them spin and re-grip. Braking hard or steering more sharply makes the skid worse.

Why the other answers are wrong

  • A.Brake hard to regain gripBraking hard loads the front further and locks the tyres.
  • C.Steer harder in the desired directionSteering more only increases the angle without restoring grip.
  • D.Pull the parking brakeThe handbrake locks the rear wheels and loses the car entirely.
