A fishtailing skid occurs when a vehicle's rear tires lose traction, causing the back end to swing out sideways while the front remains pointed forward. This can happen due to sudden acceleration, braking, or turning on slippery surfaces. Drivers may experience a loss of control, but correcting the skid involves steering into the direction of the skid to regain stability. Proper driving techniques and maintaining a safe speed in adverse conditions can help prevent fishtailing.

What are the steps for skid recovery?
The steps for recovering from a skid are as follows: 1. Take foot off gas pedal, but don't touch the brake. 2. Turn into the skid. IE, if the rear end of your car is sliding out to the right, then turn the steering wheel to the right. If it goes to the left, than turn the wheel to the left. 3. As the rear end attempts to center itself behind the front end, turn the steering wheel back to center in a following motion. 4. Sometimes the car will go into a fishtailing type of skid; just follow steps 2 & 3 until the car ceases to skid. 5. After the car straightens out, gently apply the gas and continue on. Note: The reason the car goes into a skid is because the rear wheel begin to lose traction and start to travel (rotate) faster than the front wheels. The previously outlined steps simply correct that situation.
