If a straight truck goes into a front wheel skid, what will happen?

• A. It will go straight ahead even if the wheels are turned
• B. It will turn in the direction of the wheel turn
• C. It will skid to the left
• D. It will stop immediately

Answer: (A)

When front wheels lose traction and start to skid, they can’t grip the road to steer the vehicle. The truck will continue in the direction it was moving before the skid, even if you turn the steering wheel. The wheel angle no longer controls the path because the tires are sliding instead of gripping. So the best choice is that it will go straight ahead even if the wheels are turned. The other ideas—turning in the wheel’s direction, skidding left, or stopping immediately—don’t fit because steering input doesn’t change direction during a front‑wheel skid, the vehicle won’t automatically veer left, and a skid doesn’t produce an immediate stop. To recover, ease off the accelerator, straighten the wheels to regain traction, then steer smoothly toward your desired path as grip returns.
