What should you do if the rear end of your vehicle starts to skid?

If the rear end of your vehicle starts to skid, remain calm and avoid slamming on the brakes. Instead, gently steer in the direction you want the front of the vehicle to go, which is known as "steering into the skid." If the rear end of the vehicle continues to slide, you may need to apply a bit of throttle to regain traction. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to give yourself enough space to recover from a skid.
