If the rear of your vehicle starts to skid on an icy road, what should you do?
Correct answer
- Turn the steering wheel toward the right.
- Turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
- Turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the skid.
Explanation
If you start to skid, stay calm, ease your foot off the gas pedal, and carefully steer in the direction in which you want the front of your car to go. Avoid braking, especially if your car is not equipped with antilock brakes (ABS). This procedure, known as ?steering into the skid,? will bring the rear end of your car into line with the front.
