What should you do if the back of your vehicle slides right when you’re turning left on a slippery road?

Explanation: If the back of your vehicle swings right as you turn left, keep calm and steer right, into the skid. Watch you don't overcorrect, as this could cause you to skid in the other direction. Driver error is usually the cause of a skid, so think back on what you could have done differently. Icy conditions and tyre wear affect the likelihood of skidding.
