What should you do if your vehicle starts to skid?

If your vehicle starts to skid, the appropriate action is to steer in the direction you want to go and avoid sudden braking. This technique is known as "steering into the skid." When you find yourself skidding, your instinct might be to brake hard, but doing so can exacerbate the loss of control. Instead, by steering in the direction you wish to travel, you realign the vehicle with the road and help regain traction.

It’s also important to refrain from making sudden or sharp movements with the steering wheel, as that can lead to further loss of control. Maintaining calm and applying gentle pressure on the steering wheel is essential during this situation. Slower, more controlled adjustments help the vehicle respond more predictably, allowing you to navigate out of the skid safely.
