Loss of Control

Loss of control occurs when a driver’s ability to steer, brake, or manage the vehicle is disrupted, leading to a situation where the vehicle behaves unexpectedly or uncontrollably. This can happen due to factors like slippery roads, sudden steering movements, over-correction, or mechanical failures. It often results in the vehicle spinning, skidding, or veering off course. Effective vehicle handling, appropriate speed, and awareness of road conditions help prevent loss of control. Recognizing and responding calmly during such moments can help motorists regain control and reduce the risk of an accident.
