When you trying to control a skid you should do what?

When trying to control a skid, you should first remain calm and avoid slamming on the brakes, as this can worsen the skid. Instead, gently steer in the direction you want the front of the vehicle to go. If you’re in a rear-wheel skid, ease off the gas and steer in the direction of the skid; for a front-wheel skid, you may need to release the brakes and steer to regain traction. Always be prepared to make small adjustments as necessary to maintain control.
