What is the recommended action if you start to skid on a slippery road?
If your vehicle begins to skid on a slippery road, the correct response is to steer in the direction you want the vehicle to go. This technique, known as 'counter-steering,' helps in regaining control of the vehicle by aligning the tires with the direction of travel and stabilizing the car. Braking hard or accelerating can worsen the skid and lead to a potential loss of control.
