Explanation
If your car starts to skid, gently turn the steering wheel in the direction you want to go. While doing this, take your foot off the gas pedal and avoid using the brakes as much as possible to prevent making the skid worse. Once you feel the vehicle regain control, slowly straighten the steering wheel and continue driving.
