How should you steer if your vehicle begins to skid?

Steer in the opposite direction of the skid
Steer in the same direction as the skid
Hold the wheel straight
Turn the wheel sharply in either direction

The correct answer is: Steer in the opposite direction of the skid

When your vehicle begins to skid, the correct response is to steer in the same direction that your vehicle’s rear wheels are sliding. This is because steering in the same direction helps to realign the vehicle with the path of travel, allowing for better control and reducing the chances of a more severe loss of traction. By doing so, you can facilitate regaining traction and help bring the vehicle under control. Holding the wheel straight may lead to further loss of control since the car could continue to skid without any steering correction. Similarly, turning sharply in either direction or steering in the opposite direction could exacerbate the skid, making it more difficult to regain control over the vehicle. Therefore, it’s crucial to steer into the skid to effectively manage this dangerous situation.
