Vehicle dynamics

loss of tyre grip in which the contact patch slides rather than rolls, so the vehicle leaves its steered path.

In vehicle dynamics a skid is the loss of tyre grip in which the contact patch slides rather than rolls, so braking, driving, or cornering force collapses and the vehicle no longer follows the steered path. Pacejka's Tire and vehicle dynamics describes how tyre force saturates with slip, the regime a skid enters once demand exceeds available friction. The referent is a friction-limited sliding of the tyre, measured by slip ratio, slip angle, and the friction coefficient, distinct from forestry's deliberate log-dragging and from an aircraft's sideslipping turn.[1]

Unit
The tyre slip at which grip is lost
Recovery means
Grip returns when slip drops below the friction limit (easing brake or throttle, countersteering); ABS and ESC automate this
Measured by
Characterised by slip ratio and slip angle versus the tyre–road friction coefficient
