How to use this sim

First, watch the sim drive the maneuver correctly. Then tap Your turn and do it yourself — one step at a time with the action button, following the checklist below. Hit Restart to watch again anytime.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Slamming the brakes, which locks the wheels and worsens the skid.
  • Jerking the wheel instead of steering smoothly where you want to go.
  • Overcorrecting and starting a skid the other direction.
