Correct answer

  • AUtilizar los frenos de manera brusca.Using the brakes harshly.
Explanation

Skids happen when the wheels lose grip. The most common causes are: - Harsh or incorrect use of the vehicle's controls, such as the accelerator, brake and steering (main cause). - Excessive speed with worn or under-inflated tyres, shock absorbers and brakes in poor condition, and a slippery road surface.
