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.
They say to steer "into" the skid.
Steer in the same direction
Skidding sideways to stop increases friction between the skis and the snow, which converts the skier's kinetic energy into heat through friction. This loss of energy slows down the skier's forward motion and brings them to a stop.
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.

A banked curve is tilted sideways, with the outer edge higher than the inner edge. This tilt helps vehicles navigate the curve more safely and efficiently by reducing the need for friction to keep the vehicle from sliding off the road. The banking of the curve allows the vehicle to turn more smoothly and at higher speeds without skidding.
When you turn the front wheels, they skid sideways as they turn. The skidding wears rubber off the tire.

Skidding on a circular track can occur when the tires lose traction with the road surface, causing the vehicle to slide instead of following the intended path. This can happen due to factors like excessive speed, oversteering, or understeering. Skidding reduces the driver's ability to control the vehicle and increases the risk of accidents.

Is your car equipped with an ABS system? That keeps the vehicle from locking the brakes to prevent skidding. The brakes automatically "GRAB" on and off to slow without skidding
