Answer 5

the black line your tires create when you brake really fast

Answer 6

In vehicle operations, is the mark a tire leaves when a vehicle keeps moving but the vehicle wheel is locked due to, for example, braking in cars not equipped by the anti-lock braking system or caused by damage in a collision (skid marks are distinct from yaw marks which a tire makes when it is both skidding and turning)...................................

Answer 7

*The black line left by the tire is more of an effect of the skid, than a skid itself* A skid is when the car continues to slide although you've already pumped the brakes.

Answer 8

when you hit your brakes and the pavement is wet and your car slides (skids)

Answer 9

when you slam the brakes, you get a black line behind your tires.

Answer 10

When any or all tires on the vehicle loses its grip on the road.  In other words, the sideways forces on the car exceed the friction of the tread against the road.  A skidding tire is not offering ANY control on the vehicle.
