If you get into a skid it is best to?

Take your foot off of the accelerator but do NOT touch the brake. Steer INTO the direction of the skid. If your rear end is breaking right, steer right. The idea here is to keep the front ahead of the rear. As the vehicle slows you will feel the tires begin to grip the road. When this happens gently apply pressure to the brakes to slow or stop the car. Be very careful not to apply enough pressure lock the brakes. This could put you right back into the skid. Also, when steering into the skid, do so gently. Many people have actually recovered from a skid only to be thrown into a skid in the opposite direction due to overcompensation.
