Well, the absolute best answer is to do everything possible to keep your car from skidding in the first place. After all, skidding only happens when the tread on the tire fails to grip the road. Not only will this put wear and tear on your cars tires much faster, its also dangerous.
Similarly, should you turn into a skid? For a rear-wheel or all-wheel skid in which your car starts to spin out of line, “Steer into the skid,” which means steer to the same side the back end of the car is sliding towards. During a front-wheel skid, straighten the steering wheel.
Correspondingly, what is the safest thing to do if your vehicle goes into a skid?
Most skids occur when conditions are slippery. If you find yourself in a skid, take your feet off the pedals. Stop braking and stop accelerating. Then, quickly turn the steering wheel in the direction you want to go.
What does it mean to skid when driving?
Skid. To skid means to slide without rotating. Skids occur when you lose control of your steering; your vehicle is failing to grip the roadway and sliding sideways on the road. Do not apply the brake while you are turning. Its very easy to lock your wheels while turning.
