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

Explanation: To correct a skid, you need to steer into it. However, be careful not to overcorrect with too much steering, as this may cause a skid in the opposite direction. Skids don't just happen; they're caused - usually by the driver. Factors increasing the likelihood of a skid include the condition of the vehicle (especially its tyres) and the road and weather conditions.
