If you find yourself
in a reduced traction situation such as deep water, oil, ice, or snow
you should take the following steps. Do
not make any quick changes in speed or direction. Gradually take your
foot off the gas pedal, and if possible, shift to neutral.
Keep the steering
wheel straight and if you have to use your brakes, push them to the friction
point and hold. If the vehicle starts to skid, stay off the brakes. This
will only lock the wheels and make the skid worse. Quickly turn the steering
wheel in the direction you want the car to go. As soon as the vehicle
begins to straighten out, countersteer back the other way Continue to
correct your steering and once under control, gradually begin to accelerate.
