Explanation
When the road is wet or icy, traction is reduced, which increases the chance of a skid. To avoid skidding and losing control of your vehicle, it's important to drive slowly and carefully. Avoid abrupt steering, don't brake hard or change speed quickly. In case your vehicle starts to skid, gently decrease the pressure on the gas or brake pedal, and steer in the direction of the skid until you regain traction.
