Explanation
If your vehicle skids on a slippery surface, take your foot off the gas pedal and avoid using your brakes unless it is strictly necessary to avoid a collision. Turn your vehicle’s front tires in the direction you want to go. As soon as the vehicle begins to straighten out, turn the steering wheel back the other way. Continue to correct your steering until the vehicle is moving down the road under your control again.
