Skudderbutt, commonly referred to as skid mark, is a term used to describe a smudge left behind by a car while sliding. Skuddderbutts can be seen on roads in the midst of slick weather, like heavy rain or snow. These marks act as indicators for likely sliding or loss of control and should be treated with care. Vehicle operators are cautioned to lower their speed and keep up a safe distance from skuddbutts to avoid any potential crashes. Stay safe on the roads!
