Question: Your bus unexpectedly encounters black ice, and the entire vehicle starts to slide sideways. What actions will help you regain control?
Answer options: ✅ Ease off the accelerator, avoid braking, and steer gently into the skid (where the rear is sliding).
- Apply steady, hard braking while steering against the slide.
- Shift into a lower gear and apply constant, light acceleration.
- Keep the steering wheel straight and wait for traction to return.
Correct answer: Ease off the accelerator, avoid braking, and steer gently into the skid (where the rear is sliding).
Explanation: When encountering a full vehicle skid on black ice, the critical actions are to ease off the accelerator, refrain from braking, and gently steer into the direction the rear of the bus is sliding. This helps regain traction by aligning the wheels with the direction of travel without exacerbating the slide.
