How do you stop a skid in a curve?
Depends a bit on conditions and whether you are driving a front or rear-wheel drive vehicle. Generally speaking, you should steer into the skid, and lift off throttle (in rear-wheel drive). In front-wheel drive, do not lift off throttle completely, but keep power on to pull you out of the skid. Obviously, as the car comes out of the skid, straighten the steering. On ice, it is possible at low speed to control the skid by balancing the understeer generated by the front wheels by creating oversteer pulling on the handbrake. This can ONLY be done on front-wheel drive cars, AND AT LOW SPEED!.

How do you correct a skid?
If you are skidding sideways, turn into the skid. That is, if the back of the vehicle is trying to go left, turn left, if the back is going right, turn right. As the skid lessens you'll want to lessen your turn to match, until the vehicle is straight and back under control. Stay off the brakes during the skid until you are staightened out.If you are skidding forwards and the vehicle is straight, and your ABS is working, leave the brakes on and let it work. If you don't have ABS or it's not functioning, let off the brakes and pump them.
