Why The Front Wheels Must Always Lockup First

Just stumbled upon your page. Great video! Your example is an excellent illustration of the non-intuitive. If asked, I bet 80% of experienced drivers would say they would prefer the rear tires to skid first. And if you asked the other 20% why they would want the front tires to lose grip first, they wouldn’t be able to explain their choice.

From my few times autocrossing, applying brakes first then turning creates lots of understeer. Doing it the other way around though, where you've gone in too hot and need to bleed off speed, even being as smooth as I can, makes my car oversteer. I can't quite tell which start to slip when going straight, but I can tell you that unexpected oversteer is a bit scary even in the safest conditions.

Awesome Explanation.. it's an eye opening for me.. Thank you much..!!

A bias towards rear wheel braking is how they set up cars in your favorite car chase movie, non CGI. Example Bullet. You will see the rear wheels lock up when the front wheels continue to turn. The front wheels continue to turn so the driver can maintain vehicle control in those stunt driving shots. As cool as it looks in the movies, not something you want on your daily driver.

The rear wheels cant lock up on a manual transmission car without stalling the engine unless the clutch is depressed or the transmission is in neutral. Hard braking at high speed such as on a race track entering a braking zone, its nearly impossible to lock up the rear tires. Dialing brake bias towards the rear tires will help prevent front lockup, but will not stall the engine or lock up the rear tires (unless the clutch is depressed simultaneously)

If the rear wheel lock up first it means.... DRIFTING 🔥🤙

Adds comfort knowing the rear wheels lock up first in my 33 year old Dodge truck 😶

If you load it to the doorsill sticker limit, then try it.

[@emcaste77]

Very good, can I use your idea in my vídeo?

[@briank10101]

Is this the way it works on bikes too?

[@suspensionsexplained]

No it isn't. If the front wheels on a bike lock, you're going down! Ask me how I know!

[@anandanil8158]

Can you please explain why this happens

[@anandanil8158]

Ie does this not depend on weight distribution etc? if yes can u tell us how exactly
