To safely handle a **front-wheel drive vehicle** during a skid, it is important to understand how this type of vehicle works. In a front-wheel drive vehicle, the **engine power is transmitted to the front wheels**. When a skid occurs, it is generally the rear wheels that lose traction.

- **Do not brake** during a skid, as this can worsen the loss of control.
- Instead of braking, you should **completely lift your foot off the accelerator pedal**. This helps to reduce speed in a controlled manner and allows the rear wheels to regain traction.
- Additionally, it is advisable to **turn the steering wheel towards the side to which the rear wheels are sliding** to help stabilize the vehicle.

Skidding usually occurs in curves due to the force pushing the vehicle outward, which can cause the tires to lose grip. Therefore, it is crucial to drive cautiously and avoid abrupt actions such as sudden turns or hard braking.

In summary, by lifting your foot off the accelerator, you facilitate the vehicle regaining control and prevent an accident.
