Lose traction (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

skid

slip

'lose traction' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(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 LA Times, the Penny Press, the Universal, The Sun, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The Washington Post, the Newsday and The Wall Street Journal.
