Should driver whose vehicle becomes involved in a skid should not attempt to regain control of their vehicle?

When a vehicle skids, the driver should avoid overcorrecting or making abrupt movements, as this can worsen the situation. Instead, they should steer gently in the direction they want to go and ease off the accelerator. If the vehicle has anti-lock brakes (ABS), the driver should apply steady pressure; if not, they should pump the brakes lightly. Remaining calm and allowing the vehicle to regain traction is key to regaining control.
