What should you do if your car begins to skid?

  1. Brake hard

  2. Accelerate

  3. Steer into it

  4. Do nothing

The correct answer is: Steer into it

When your car starts to skid, it is important to steer in the direction of the skid to regain control of the vehicle. Braking hard or accelerating can cause the skid to worsen and potentially lead to a loss of control. Doing nothing can also result in a loss of control. It is important to stay calm and steer into the skid while slowly decelerating until you regain traction. It is also important to avoid sudden movements or overcorrecting, as this can also contribute to a loss of control.
