Front wheel skids are often caused by which of the following?
  1. Driving too fast for road conditions
  2. Not enough tread on front tires
  3. Improper loading of cargo
  4. None of the above
  5. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: E - Front wheel skids are most often caused by driving too fast for road conditions. However, front wheel skids can also be caused by front tires that do not have enough tread on them, especially when on wet or slick roads. Also, when cargo is improperly placed with not enough weight on the front axle, skidding is possible. With a front wheel skid, drivers must allow the vehicle to slow in order to regain control. However, drivers should NOT brake hard or fast as this can make the situation much worse.
