Cevap
Steer toward the right in the direction of the skid, then counter-steer as the vehicle straightens.
When recovering from a drive-wheel skid, the driver must turn the front wheels in the direction the rear of the vehicle is sliding to allow the drive tires to regain rolling traction, followed immediately by counter-steering to prevent swinging into a secondary skid in the opposite direction.
