Explanation:

A skid can occur if one or more tires lose their grip on the road surface. Skids often occur on slippery surfaces, such as wet, cold, snow-covered roads, rocks, or other loose material.

Many skids result from very fast driving in road conditions. Tightening the brakes and overcharging or speeding can cause your car to slip and possibly get out of control.
