The rear of a rear-wheel-drive vehicle skids to the right. Where should the driver steer?
A blue sedan is yawed slightly toward the upper right on a wet two-way road, with its rear displaced toward the near side.
Correct answer: Gently to the right, the way the rear is sliding, easing off the gas.
Why
Steering with the skid helps align the front wheels with the vehicle's actual path until traction returns.
