What should you do if your vehicle starts to skid?

When your vehicle begins to skid, the appropriate reaction is to steer in the direction you want the front of the vehicle to go. This method helps to regain control while you're in a skid. When you turn the steering wheel in the desired direction, it can help to align the vehicle's wheels with the direction of travel, assisting in stabilizing the car and reducing the slide.

Braking suddenly, as mentioned in one of the other options, can worsen the skid by causing additional loss of traction. Accelerating while skidding can increase the vehicle's speed uncontrollably, making it harder to regain control. Remaining still and doing nothing removes any potential for correction, allowing the skid to continue unmitigated. Thus, steering into the skid is the most effective way to recover from such a situation.
