If the rear of a vehicle begins to skid, where should the driver steer?
A blue car is skidding on a wet road. The header identifies the rear sliding to the right in this example. The question has no corrective steering-wheel inset.
Correct answer: Toward where you want the front of the car to go.
Why
Looking and steering toward the intended path helps realign the tires; avoid adding braking that worsens the skid.
