Answer options: ✅ Release the brakes, turn the steering wheel slightly in the direction of the skid, and reapply brakes gently once traction is regained.

  • Steer sharply in the opposite direction of the skid to counteract the motion.
  • Depress the clutch and allow the vehicle to drift until it stops.
  • Apply full brake pressure to all wheels to stop immediately.
