Take your foot off the gas pedal, and steer in the direction of the skid. Don't use the brakes unless you are about to hit something.

Pump your brakes hard and fast, and steer in the direction you want to go.

Keep your gas pedal where it is, and steer toward the right shoulder.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Take your foot off the gas pedal, and steer in the direction of the skid. Don't use the brakes unless you are about to hit something. It is important to release the gas pedal to regain control of the vehicle and steer in the same direction as the skid to correct it. Using the brakes can cause the skid to worsen and potentially lead to loss of control. Additionally, steering toward the right shoulder is not recommended as it can increase the risk of collision with objects or other vehicles.
