Avoid over steering. It can whip the vehicle into another skid. Always keep the clutch engaged. This applies whether driving a car with automatic transmission or manual gear shift. Avoid lifting your foot from the accelerator suddenly.
Sudden deceleration increases the skid because of the braking effect.
When skidding on a dry surface at high speed, you may have to turn the wheel violently to get out of the skid. However, a skid on a wet, slippery surface must be countered by slow, nonviolent turning of the steering wheel. Drivers whose vehicles run off the road normally aren't paying attention to what they are doing. Fatigue, intoxication and speed most often are contributing factors to such accidents. Keep the clutch engaged.
