It could be seen above that the speed of the vehicle is as twice as fast. As a rule, if the speed is doubled, the distance would likely increase. So if the speed is 2^2, it will increase the distance, having the product of 4. So the answer to the given problem above is that the distance of the car that have skidded would produce four times further.
