Explanation
If a vehicle starts to skid, the driver should not steer in the opposite direction of the skid. Instead, they should steer in the direction of the skid until traction is regained, and then straighten the vehicle. This means if the rear of the vehicle is sliding to the right, the driver should steer to the right. If it is sliding to the left, they should steer to the left.
