The rear of a 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, in the direction of the skid.
Why
Steering with the skid helps align the front wheels with the vehicle's actual path until traction returns.
