Question: If you start to skid on ice, you should first:

Answer options:

  • Brake hard ✅ Look and steer in the direction you want to go
  • Pull handbrake
  • Accelerate

Correct answer: Look and steer in the direction you want to go

Explanation: To recover from a skid on ice, ICBC guidelines state you must ease off the pedals and look and steer in the direction you want to go. This action helps the tires regain traction and aligns the front wheels with your intended path. Braking hard or pulling the handbrake will lock the wheels and worsen the slide, while accelerating will spin the tires and cause a total loss of control. This concept is a staple of the Class 7 knowledge test, as understanding proper emergency steering maneuvers is vital for safe winter driving in British Columbia.
