If your vehicle begins to skid on a wet or icy road, how should you steer to regain control?
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: Steer where you want the front of the vehicle to go
Why
If the rear of your car is skidding to the right, turn your steering wheel to the right. This allows the wheels to regain traction. Never brake hard during a skid.
