Lose traction (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

skid

slip

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">lose traction</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for skid that I've seen before include "Slide at an angle" , "Slide fast" , "Slip out of control" , "What car may do on ice - be careful" , "unpredictable motoring event" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Washington Post, The Guardian, the Penny Press, The Sun, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Times, the LA Times and the Universal.
