The correct answer is d. take your foot off the accelerator and turn your steering wheel in the direction of the skid.<br /><br />When a motor vehicle starts to skid, the first thing you should do is to take your foot off the accelerator and turn your steering wheel in the direction of the skid. This helps to regain control of the vehicle and prevent it from spinning out of control. Applying the brakes immediately or steering for the shoulder of the road can cause the vehicle to lose even more control and increase the risk of an accident.
