What can result in your motor vehicle skidding while driving round a bend?

The combination you selected is correct because both heavy oversteer and driving too fast can lead to skidding when rounding a bend.

Heavy oversteer occurs when the rear wheels lose traction and slide outwards, which can happen if the driver turns too sharply or too aggressively. This is especially dangerous in wet or slippery conditions, as the vehicle can quickly lose control.

Driving too fast for the bend can reduce the driver’s ability to control the vehicle effectively. When approaching a curve at high speed, centrifugal force increases, making it difficult to steer and maintain traction. This can easily result in skidding.

German traffic rules emphasize the importance of adjusting speed to road conditions and understanding vehicle dynamics, particularly in curves, to ensure safety. Recognizing multiple factors that contribute to skidding is crucial for safe driving practices.
