On a wet curve, the rear of your car starts to slide to the right. What should you do?
A is on a wet curve. A white arrow at the rear points to the driver’s right to show the stated rear slide, with no steering detail in the question.
Correct answer: Take your foot off the gas and steer to the right.
Why
Stay calm and concentrate on steering. After you turn into the skid, the car can start to slide the other way; then turn the wheels again toward where you want to go. When the car is under control, straighten the wheels.
