Explanation
If your car begins to skid, you should turn the steering wheel in the direction you want your vehicle to go. If the rear of your vehicle is skidding to the right, steer to the right to bring the front of the vehicle back in line. When driving in poor weather conditions, to prevent your vehicle from skidding you should slow down, and avoid making tight turns or braking quickly.
