Question: If your vehicle starts to skid, you should:
Answer options:
- Slam on the brakes ✅ Ease off the accelerator and steer where you want to go
- Steer the opposite way
- Pull the handbrake
Correct answer: Ease off the accelerator and steer where you want to go
Explanation: To recover from a skid, you must ease off the accelerator to regain traction and steer in the direction you want the front of the vehicle to go. Slamming on the brakes or pulling the handbrake will lock the wheels and worsen the loss of control, while steering the opposite way can cause the vehicle to spin out. Alberta’s driving guide emphasizes maintaining steering control by looking and steering where you want to travel without sudden braking. This fundamental skid recovery technique is frequently tested on the Class 7 exam to ensure drivers can safely handle slippery winter road conditions.
