When driving on a slippery road and the rear end of your vehicle starts to skid what should you do?

If the rear end of your vehicle starts to skid, remain calm and avoid slamming on the brakes. Steer gently in the direction you want the front of the vehicle to go, which is typically the same direction the wheels are pointing. If you start to overcorrect, be prepared to adjust your steering again. It's important to maintain a steady throttle and avoid sudden movements until the skid is controlled.
