To correct a drive-wheel braking skid, what should you do?

To correct a drive-wheel braking skid, the appropriate action is to turn quickly and countersteer. This technique involves steering in the direction you want the vehicle to go, which helps regain control and allows the wheels to start rolling again rather than sliding. When a vehicle skids, particularly with drive wheels locked up due to hard braking, simply continuing to brake or shifting into neutral can lead to a loss of control and exacerbate the skid. Accelerating is also not advisable, as it can worsen the situation by causing the wheels to spin faster without gaining the necessary traction. Countersteering helps align the vehicle with the direction of travel, effectively reducing the skid and stabilizing the vehicle.
