What should you do if you experience a drive wheel braking skid?

  1. Steer straight ahead

  2. Turn the wheel in the direction of the skid

  3. Stop Braking, Turn Quickly, Countersteer

  4. Increase speed and turn gently

The correct answer is: Stop Braking, Turn Quickly, Countersteer

When experiencing a drive wheel braking skid, it is important to remember not to panic. The correct response is to stop braking, turn quickly, and countersteer. By releasing the brakes, you can regain traction and control of the vehicle. Turning quickly in the direction of the skid and countersteering helps to straighten out the truck and prevent a potential rollover or further loss of control. This technique is crucial in maintaining safety on the road in such situations.
