If your rear wheels start to skid,

Correct answer

  • turn your steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
  • turn your steering wheel in the opposite direction of the skid.
  • turn your steering wheel to the left.

Explanation

If your rear wheels start to skid, stay calm, ease your foot off the gas, and carefully steer in the direction in which you want your vehicle to go. This procedure, known as ?steering into the skid,? will bring the rear end of your vehicle into line with the front. Then you may brake gently (if your vehicle has anti-lock brakes) or pump the brake pedal gently (if it does not) to slow down further.
