In motoring terms, a skid mark is the residue tire rubber leaves when a car brakes hard. Skid marks can also come about when a car suddenly accelerates on a slippery surface, or takes a hard corner. This is also possible on bicycles, with children often having competitions about who can create the longest skid mark.
