If you find yourself in a skid,

You can prevent skids by driving slowly and carefully, especially on curves. If you find yourself in a skid, remain calm, ease your foot off the gas and carefully steer in the direction in which you want the car to go. And avoid braking in cars without anti-lock brakes (ABS). This procedure, known as “steering into the skid,” will bring the rear end of your car in line with the front.
