Understanding Skids on Different Road Surfaces

Explanation:

Skids are likely to occur on wet roads, as the water on the surface reduces the friction between the tires and the road. This leads to a loss of control and the car sliding or skidding. Snow-packed roads can also cause skids due to the reduced grip on the icy surface. Gravel roads, on the other hand, provide more traction, so skids are less likely to occur compared to wet or snow-packed roads. Freshly paved roads generally have good grip, so skids are less likely to occur on these roads as well.

It is important for drivers to be aware of the road conditions and adjust their driving accordingly to prevent skidding accidents.
