What should you do if your vehicle starts to skid on a slippery road surface?

Steer in the opposite direction of the skid.
Slam on the brakes to regain control.
Accelerate to gain traction.
Ease off the accelerator and steer in the direction you want to go.

The correct answer is: Ease off the accelerator and steer in the direction you want to go.

If your vehicle starts to skid on a slippery road surface, the first instinct may be to steer in the opposite direction. However, this can actually make the skid worse and cause you to lose control. Slamming on the brakes can also make the skid worse as it can lock the wheels and make it difficult to regain control. Accelerating may cause the skid to worsen, so it is important to ease off the accelerator and steer in the direction you want to go. This allows the wheels to regain traction and helps you to steer out of the skid safely.
