You turn your front wheels into the skid to regain steering.
If you get into a skid you should: ease off the gas pedal, stop braking, and turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid....
put the gear into neutral. It will take you immediately out of your skid. It kept me from hitting a vehicle on ice.
An anti-lock braking system, or ABS (from the German, Antiblockiersystem) is a safety system which prevents the wheels on a motor vehicle from locking while braking. A rotating road wheel allows the driver to maintain steering control under heavy braking by preventing a skid and allowing the wheel to continue interacting tractively with the road surface as directed by driver steering inputs.
You dont skid so you can control the car while stopping
To regain control of a skidding vehicle, ease off the accelerator and steer in the direction you want to go. Avoid sudden movements or braking, as this can worsen the skid. Once the vehicle straightens out, gently apply the brakes if needed.
Yes Turning into the skid allows you a chance to regain control, where turning away will make you loose even more control of the vehicle.
I was taught to steer into the skid , don't mash the brake and don't floor the gas . if your in a skid you don't have traction and no control. it takes a second or two for the wheels to stick back to pavement. once the vehicle starts to grab the pavement I was taught to lightly tap the brake getting it to slow and regain control. consult your owners manual for best results with your make of vehicle.

You will be able to steer thru a situation because your brakes are not locked up into a skid. When your wheels lock up and skid you have no control of where the vehicle is going.
